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
Pre-Chorus
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
'til 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'd build you a bridge
So you could come back
Pre-Chorus
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
'til 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, hey now tell me why can't you just break my heart?
I used to be a 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
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?
