YOU’RE JUST A MAN
Love took a dive, again
Hit rock bottom
Gasping like a drowning friend
I had you walking on water
Till the bitter end
But on dry land, I see
You’re just a man
Love took a dive, again
Your stock was off the charts
But you blew the trend
And broke a billion hearts
At the top of your game
The dividend was pain
And as I crash-land I see
You’re just a man
A man who asks all the right questions
A man who remembers every tear
A man who looks me in the eyes, tells me lies
Lies I want to hear
I took a dive, again
Sunk like a bullet-ridden body out to sea
You said I was the living end
I was your friend
Then you rocked the boat
and spilled whatever joy was left to spend
Love took a dive, again
It takes a dive again
Again, and again, and again, and again, and again
And as I let go of your hand
I finally understand
You’re just a man
