What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Suddenly, last summer
2
Started going out of my head
3
In a tiny hotel room
4
Lying naked on a bed
5
I knew what you were doing,
6
And I knew what you'd done
7
Your life with me was ending
8
Your new life had begun
9
I was cursing your name
10
And I was cursing that room
11
And I was praying for the strength
12
To stop loving you
13
I started writing you a letter
14
Which turned into the book
15
Gonna reach across the ocean
16
And force you to look
17
What kind of man was I?
18
Who could sacrifice your happiness
19
To satisfy his pride
20
What kind of man was I?
21
Who could delay your destiny
22
To appease his turning mind
23
When you came back to me
24
I went down on a one knee
25
With a glint in my eyes
26
And a rose between my teeth
27
And I pushed out my tongue
28
For you to see,
29
That I've been dying of a thirst
30
For your company
31
You quench my loneliness
32
With your tears
33
And our clothes fell away
34
As we rolled back the years
35
We couldn't deny it,
36
We could not admit it
37
Was our love too strong to die?
38
We were just to weak to kill it
39
Was our love too strong to die?
40
Or were we just too weak to kill it?
41
Was our love too strong to die?
42
We were just too weak to kill it
