Words couldn't hold her
I found out I couldn't control her
She left me for something I could give
Now I live my life still loving her
But I go through life not having her
I wasn't man enough for my woman
Days spending fear
'cos the night was drawing in
No matter how hard I tried, it wasn't there
I can't blame her for going
She fell in love not knowing
I wasn't man enough for my woman
Have you ever been so afraid
Of doing something wrong that you did
I couldn't help it
Have you ever held on to something so tight
Afraid of losing it and then lose it, I lost it
It hurts to know
I couldn't be the way she wanted me
And it's sad to say that I'm the way I am
Now I know the pain is showing
But what hurts the most is knowing
I wasn't man enough for my woman
I found out I couldn't control her
She left me for something I could give
Now I live my life still loving her
But I go through life not having her
I wasn't man enough for my woman
Days spending fear
'cos the night was drawing in
No matter how hard I tried, it wasn't there
I can't blame her for going
She fell in love not knowing
I wasn't man enough for my woman
Have you ever been so afraid
Of doing something wrong that you did
I couldn't help it
Have you ever held on to something so tight
Afraid of losing it and then lose it, I lost it
It hurts to know
I couldn't be the way she wanted me
And it's sad to say that I'm the way I am
Now I know the pain is showing
But what hurts the most is knowing
I wasn't man enough for my woman
