Touch me, I'm so afraid to draw you close   Hold me before my hands fall away   I'll suffocate if I cant 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 take you in my arms   Hey, now tell me   Why can't you just break my heart?      I used to be a man of steel   I used to take you in my arms   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   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 will fall apart   As strong as you are, as strong as I am   Why can't you break my heart?
