The - August September lyrics

rate me

Suddenly last summer<br />

I started going out of my head<br />

In a tiny hotel room<br />

Lying naked on a bed<br />

I knew what you were doing, and I knew what you'd done<br />

Your life with me was ending, your new life had begun<br />

But I was cursing your name, and I was cursing that room<br />

And I was praying for the strength to stop loving you<br />

<br />

I started writing you the letter<br />

Which turned into the book<br />

I was gonna reach across the ocean<br />

And force you to look<br />

<br />

But what kind of man was I?<br />

Who would sacrify you happiness to satisfy his pride<br />

What kind of man was I?<br />

Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind<br />

<br />

Then you came back to me and I went down on one knee<br />

With a glint in my eyes and a rose between my teeth<br />

And I pushed out my tongue for you to see<br />

That I'd been dying of a thirst for your company<br />

Then you quenched my loneliness with your tears<br />

And our clothes fell away as we rolled back the years<br />

But we could't deny it because we could not admit it<br />

If our love was too strong to die<br />

Or we were just too weak to kill it<br />

Was our love too strong to die?<br />

Or were we just too weak to kill it?<br />

<br />

Every moment in that room<br />

I closed my eyes in prayer<br />

Every moment I awoke<br />

I clenched my teeth in prayer<br />

<br />

What kind of man was I?<br />

Who would sacrify your happiness to satisfy his pride<br />

What kind of man was I?<br />

Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind<br />

<br />

Who could delay your destiny to appease his aching swollen pride<br />

Who could delay your destiny to appease his screaming little mind<br />

<br />

You're mine
