Lyrics
You saved me
I wish I could have saved you
But lately
I'm only strong enough to save myself
So blame me
And I won't blame you
'Cause lately it's alright
But oh, be
Like I want you to be
Be
Like your record is free
Be
Just like those words you told me
Be
Like a man
I'm bleeding
When I'm just pleading
Believing
That you're the only one who loves me so
I'm needing
A little bit your healing
Because I'm breathing
Like I've only got a breath to go
Be
Just like the greatest surprise
Be-
fore all the intimate ties
Be
Throughout the scripture's disguise
Be
Like a man
You saved me
I wish I could've saved you
But lately
I'm only strong enough to save myself
So blame me
And I won't blame you
'Cause lately it's alright
Be
Like I want you to be
Be
Like your record is free
Be
Just like those words you told me
Be
Like a God
And I will be a man
Yes...
I will be a man
