The world is quiet - like there’s no one around - But I feel you beside me
I know the secrets - you keep locked away inside
Don’t understand why you’re fighting - no
She must be special - this new girl by your side
I seek for answers - when I look into your eyes
And it hurts like hell - but I will be strong
For once in your life - be a man - just tell me the words - ‘cause I know that you can
Don’t leave me with scars - that no one can heal - for once in your life - be a man
You made me love you - love you right from the start
You’re controlling my heart Babe
Don’t pack your bags yet - give me time to say goodbye
just don’t leave me wounded - no
I just hope you will regret the things you do
Come back to me - ‘cause our love is the real thing
And it hurts like hell - but I will be strong
Chorus
I knew that I - I fought to keep our love strong
If you leave me now - you come running back for more Babe
And I hope for - and I wish for - and I pray - that the words from your mouth can
Eventually make you a man - for once in your life be a man
When everything stops for a minute in your life - I will hope that
Chorus
Be a man - Tell me the words
Once In Your Life - Be a man - Tell me the words
how come no one's commented on this? lol, this is one of the best songs on Aquarium, and it kind of shows where theri next CD is going...
I think this song is about when someone is breaking up with his/her lover.
I really love this song, although its quite painful for me to listen to. This was the song i gave my bf (now ex) to listen to b4 breaking up wit him. I sums it all up very nicely. Except for the line "she must be special, this new girl by ur side", I totally felt like i wrote the song especially for him. Its too perfect... The song basically means that the you hope that the person you love, will eventually understand how much you care for them and confess their love and not leave you for other things in life.

This song is their best ever. I adore it with everything I posess.
this song describes EXACTLY how i felt they day my boyfriend left me. he did leave me for another girl, and i always told him thereafter that i hope for only the best for them, but that i will miss him always, and that he needs to start stepping up and being a man, and he has to fix that which he has broken.. he didnt do it for me. thats what i feel this song is about, trying to tell him that everything you do has consequences, and you need to step up and take responsibility for what you do to people in writing this song, she was clearly hurt, and in listening to it, it helped me to realize how pathetic he really was.
