Man of steel

Touch me

I'm so afraid to draw you close

Hold me

Before my hands fall away

I'll suffocate

If I cant 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 take you in my arms

Girl: Hey, now tell me why can't you just break my heart?

I used to take you in my arms

And I used to take you in my arms

Girl: 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

Girl: 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 will fall apart

Girl: As strong as you are ...

As strong as I am ...

Girl: Why can't you break my heart?
