Man Of Steel

Lyrics

I'm so afraid to draw you close  
Hold me  
Before my hands fall away  
I'll suffocate  
If I can't breathe you in  
And hold you there  
Forever  
  
I left a message at the hotel  
They said you checked out  
They said you ain't coming back  
I tried to call you  
But you turned off your cell  
And it said at the tone  
Just leave me alone  
  
And I fall apart at the seams  
It seems that I always, always fall apart  
But as strong as I am  
Why can't I break your heart?  
  
I remember how it used to be  
Making love to you all night long  
I used to take you in my arms  
And hold you there until all my strength was gone  
I used to be a man of steel  
I used to be a man of steel  
  
I built this prison that I thought was a home  
And we both lived here  
Guess you were living alone  
I'd tear it down if you would only have asked  
And I would build you a bridge  
So you could come back  
  
And I fall apart at the seams  
It seems that I always, always fall apart  
But as strong as I am  
Why can't I break your heart?  
  
I remember how it used to be  
Making love to you all night long  
I used to take you in my arms  
And hold you there until all your fears were gone  
I used to be a man of steel  
I used to be a man of steel  
I used to be a man of steel  
I used to be a man of steel  
Hey, now tell me why can't you just break my heart?  
I used to be an man of steel  
And I used to take you in my arms  
I loved you from the start  
Now you can't tear my world apart  
  
I used to be a man of steel  
Now every bit of faith is gone  
You used to be so strong  
Now you can't even break my heart  
I used to be a man of steel  
I used to take you in my arms  
What's it going to take for us to break down?  
And finally fall  
Apart at the seams  
It seems that I always fall apart  
As strong as you are...  
As strong as I am...  
Why can't you break my heart?
