I've got my reasons for holding back      Can't give my trust too fast      I've pulled myself out of the wreck   Too many times         To think that words can last            You need someone to help you         When you're down      Pick you like a pearl from the sand   Somebody who is devoted to you      Right beside you when you take a stand   I could never be that man               You have a special shrine in your room         Pictures of lovers on the wall   I loved to lie there and look into their eyes      So confident before you let them fall         Will you tell me please            How you get them off their knees   Twirling round you fast as they can   How did you know      That it worries me so         Not the ones who fall the ones who stand   Oh I could never be that man         I still remember that time in my life            When I was sinking so low   You stayed with me all through the night         Sang me some songs you know            Now as time goes on       I wonder what went wrong      Didn't I fit into your little plan      Couldn't I be the one   You lay your troubles on       Walk you to the edge and hold your hand         Pick you like a pearl from the sand      I'll open every doorway that I can   Oh I could never be that man
