Man Of Steel

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
girl: 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
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 fall apart
girl: as strong as you are...
as strong as i am...
why can't you break my heart?
