Suddenly last summer |
|
I started going out of my head |
|
In a tiny hotel room |
|
Lying naked on a bed |
|
I knew what you were doing, and |
|
I knew what you'd done |
|
Your life with me was ending, your new life had begun |
|
But I was cursing your name, and |
|
I was cursing that room |
|
And I was praying for the strength to stop loving you |
|
I started writing you the letter |
|
Which turned into the book |
|
I was gonna reach across the ocean and force you to look |
|
But what kind of man was |
|
I? Who would sacrify you happiness to satisfy his pride |
|
What kind of man was |
|
I? Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind |
|
Then you came back to me and |
|
I went down on one knee |
|
With a glint in my eyes and a rose between my teeth |
|
And I pushed out my tongue for you to see |
|
That I'd been dying of a thirst for your company |
|
Then you quenched my loneliness with your tears |
|
And our clothes fell away as we rolled back the years |
|
But we could't deny it because we could not admit it |
|
If our love was too strong to die |
|
Or we were just too weak to kill it |
|
Was our love too strong to die? |
|
Or were we just too weak to kill it? |
|
Every moment in that room |
|
I closed my eyes in prayer |
|
Every moment |
|
I awoke I clenched my teeth in prayer |
|
What kind of man was |
|
I? Who would sacrify your happiness to satisfy his pride |
|
What kind of man was |
|
I? Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind |
|
Who could delay your destiny to appease his aching swollen pride |
|
Who could delay your destiny to appease his screaming little mind |
|
You're mine |
