a stronger, smarter man

-
it's hard to respect a man
who needs you more than you need him
and I know you're so much stronger than me
but loving you isn't me being weak

I think I've found the wound
that had me running from you
and now I'm facing all those fears
that kept me from letting you near
I can do now what I couldn't do then
Is it too late to start over again?
I've trying to work this all through
and maybe I'm strong enough now... to be the man for you
since the day you said goodbye
I've tried to figure out just why
and where things took a wrong turn
after all these years, what have I learned?

rocket science, I can get that
but figurin out how to get you back
hurts my heart, taxes my brain
you did it before, but could you explain?
I know now what I didn't know then
Is it too late to start over again?
I've been working on my love IQ
and maybe I'm smart enough now... to be the man for you
(bridge)you said you wanted more than stong arms, you needed a strong heart to hold you
I know you needed someone who was smart, smart enough to not let go of you
I know now what I didn't know then
Is it too late to start over again?
I've been working on my love IQ
and maybe I'm smart enough now...
maybe I'm strong enough now....
if I can figure out how...
to be the man for you

Sometimes the lessons of life come from teachers we don't expect Surprises, gems in disguises, teaching us things we can't forget Found love I hadn't heard of but was glad she came my way Reached me started to teach me And this is what she'd say: She said "I don't need you, and I hope you don't need me. Not gonna count on you to be my everything. But I'm going to love you with a love that's full and free. Wanna know what I can do for you, Not what you're -- What you're gonna do for me" Seemed strange Like an angel Knowin just what she should do Asked her and the laughter of her answer filled the room She said "I don't need you, and I hope you don't need me. Not gonna count on you to be my everything. But I'm going to love you with a love that's full and free. Wanna know what I can do for you, Not what you're -- What you're gonna do for me" God-like Yeah, that's right I saw love that's just lik...

nothing's too hard

I've gathered lots of stuff Piled it high in my garage Way more than enough And yet I am piling it high I can give you lots of things Try to keep you satisfied With bangles and rings It's not like I haven't tried But I'll give it all away Give it all away for you It's not too high a price to pay Just to stay with you Nothing's too hard Too tough to try out and see If I can capture your heart And keep it with me I've been around the globe places everybody wants to see I'm either platinum or gold On every single airline We could go there once again take you for the very first time But the times worth remembering are when your hand was in mine But I'll give it all away Give it all away for you It's not too high a price to pay Just to stay with you Nothing's too hard Too tough to try out and see If I can capture your heart And keep it with me Let me tell you on the phone Let me say it to your face Tell you what I hope you know and remember for a ...

Did you think you could get very far With your complicated answers Begging for wishes in my tip jar Going straight to the bottom line There's no payout, no return on this Investment that you've been banking Oh, you're going to be pissed Reading the official statement
