A Selfish Man

A selfish man would hold you
A childish man would cry
A beaten man would seek you
A fallen man would crawl to be near you.

A selfish man would help you
A childish man would try to love you
A beaten man would need you
A fallen man would bleed to be beside you

Listen to the question of my heart,
Listen to the words I must tell you.
See that I’m a man who fell apart,
Let me give my broken spirit to you.

A selfish man would touch you
A childish man would try to know you.
A beaten man would want you
A fallen man would rise if he felt you.

Listen to the breaking of my heart,
Listen to the words you once believed in.
Help me be the man you thought I was,
Help me find a way to share my sorrow with you.

How does a man love a woman?
How does he give her what she needs?
How does a fallen man protect her?
How does he open up the secrets to her heart?

How does a man love a woman?
How does he tell her she is beautiful?
How does a fallen man gain faith from her?
How does he open up the feelings of her heart?

I am just a selfish man,
Cause holding you makes me happy.
I am just a childish man,
Cause hurting you makes me cry.
I am a beaten man
Cause I don’t know how to love you
I am a fallen man,
Cause I don’t think I’ll ever reach you

How does a man love a woman?
How does he show her what he needs?
How does a fallen man give anything to her?
How does he touch the love inside her that he sees.
