Suddenly last summer

I started going out of my head

In a tiny hotel room

Lying naked on a bed

I knew what you were doing, and I knew what you'd done

Your life with me was ending, your new life had begun

But I was cursing your name, and I was cursing that room

And I was praying for the strength to stop loving you


I started writing you the letter

Which turned into the book

I was gonna reach across the ocean

and force you to look


But what kind of man was I?

Who would sacrify you happiness to satisfy his pride

What kind of man was I?

Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind


Then you came back to me and I went down on one knee

With a glint in my eyes and a rose between my teeth

And I pushed out my tongue for you to see

That I'd been dying of a thirst for your company

Then you quenched my loneliness with your tears

And our clothes fell away as we rolled back the years

But we could't deny it because we could not admit it

If our love was too strong to die

Or we were just too weak to kill it

Was our love too strong to die?

Or were we just too weak to kill it?


Every moment in that room

I closed my eyes in prayer

Every moment I awoke

I clenched my teeth in prayer


What kind of man was I?

Who would sacrify your happiness to satisfy his pride

What kind of man was I?

Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind


Who could delay your destiny to appease his aching swollen pride

Who could delay your destiny to appease his screaming little mind


You're mine
