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