TheThe - August & September lyrics

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 k** it Was our love too strong to die? Or were we just too weak to k** 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
