Lyrics
I fumbled words carelessly over your heart
Laid out before me
I pierced your skin with my tongue
It was meant as a kiss, gone awry
I am a man. And I don't belong to anyone
And I can?t say that I belong to you
Build me up with chemicals
My words flow like poetry
To your ears to warm your soul
Till I grow cold
And I can?t say anything I mean
And I?m not afraid of anyone
But I can?t say that I?m not afraid of you
Look at me I?m failing
Can't you see that I don't mean to do you harm
Well I tried my best to show you, but I know you.
And you need to hear it said out loud.
Well I am a man and I'm not afraid of anyone.
And I can't say that I'm not afraid of you.
Mumbled words stab at truth.
Caught between a lie and how you really feel.
Close the door I'll make it up to you the only way I know.
Cause I am a man and I don't belong to anyone.
And I can't say that I don't belong to you.
