I Could Never Be That Man Lyrics - Tremolo - Blue Rodeo

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 

Oh 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 

I'll open every doorway that I can 

Oh I could never be that man
