Blue Rodeo I Could Never Be That Man Lyrics

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



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
