The Love of a Man

I didn't want to hurt myself

I didn't want to hurt anyone else

I just wanted the love of a man

And that's where my trouble began

I didn't want to be in pain

I didn't want to throw it away

I didn't want to feel so insane

I didn't want things to end up this way

I just wanted him to hold my hand

I just wanted to be in his plans

I just wanted him to understand

I just wanted the love of a man

I just wanted the love of a man

I didn't think it all through

I just wanted to feel close to you

I was so numb to the core

I just wanted to open the door

I didn't mean to give so much away

I didn't want to feel this shame

I didn't want to be in this place

I didn't want things to end up this way

I just wanted him to hold my hand

I just wanted to be in his plans

I just wanted him to understand

I just wanted the love of a man

I just wanted to feel something

I didn't want it to burn or sting

I thought I could drink from this cup

But the poison is tearing me up

It's tearing me up

I just wanted him to hold my hand

I just wanted to be in his plans

I just wanted him to understand

I just wanted the love of a man

I didn't want to hate myself

I didn't want to hate anyone else

I didn't want to throw so much away

I just wanted the love of a man

I just wanted the love of a man
