God I feel like hell tonight The tears of rage I cannot fight I'd be the last to help you understand Are you strong enough to be my man My man Nothing's true, and nothing's right So let me be alone tonight 'Cause you can't change the way I am Are you strong enough to be my man Lie to me, I promise I'll believe Lie to me, but please don't leave I have a face I cannot show I make the rules up as I go Just try and love me if you can Are you strong enough to be my man Are you strong enough to be my man Are you strong enough My man When I've shown you That I just don't care When I'm throwing punches in the air When I'm broken down and I can't stand Would you be man enough to be my man Lie to me, I promise I'll believe Lie to me, but please don't leave
