I was dreaming long before I fell asleep
Holding secrets just to keep something of my own
And you were running at me with the biggest grin
Open arms to let me in
I'm on the verge of letting go
And we all know
It takes a strong man
To finish what he started
And they all know
I'm not strong
Or a man
Giving all I can to make the pieces fit
If there's hope, this isn't it
I'll bide my time here until
Someone comes along and taps my shoulder firm
Mark the ending of my turn
I lose the game before it starts
And we all know
It takes a strong man
To finish what he started
And they all know
I'm not strong
Or a man
I was sitting underneath your careful wing
The next pretty little thing
Is all I'm capable of
