It was a little love a little helplessness I threw my life away What kind of man was I? a person killed me and left me alive But I gave up on life there was a person who came and went like a season but I was not a farmer who could save a dying land I was not a boat who could sail the storm I wish everyone could know that I am open truth what kind of man was I? to hold that stranger close to me I had to embrace the crowd to stop the reminder of the unfaithful I've had to raise my hands to the mirror What kind of man was I? I've had to die to prove that I was alive
