Blue Rodeo - I Could Never Be That Man lyrics

I've got my reasons for holding back Can't give my trust too fast I've pulled myself out of the wreck Too many times To think that words can last You need someone to help you When you're down Pick you like a pearl from the sand Somebody who is devoted to you Right beside you when you take a stand I could never be that man You have a special shrine in your room Pictures of lovers on the wall I loved to lie there and look into their eyes So confident before you let them fall Will you tell me please How you get them off their knees Twirling round you fast as they can How did you know That it worries me so Not the ones who fall the ones who stand I could never be that man I still remember that time in my life When I was sinking so low You stayed with me all through the night Sang me some songs you know Now as time goes on I wonder what went wrong Didn't I fit into your little plan Couldn't I be the one You lay your troubles on Walk you to the edge and hold your hand Pick you like a pearl from the sand Open every doorway that I can I could never be that man
