Take It Like A Man

Oh, now baby
How'd we get this way
What’s in your eyes
Are all the things that you won't say
Oh now what am I to do
When there's no reply
And all that I'm left with is the pain
CHORUS:
How can I take it like a man
When I know that I'm losing you
I've given everything I can
Now, is there nothing more that I can do
Just to keep me from losing you
Down on my knees
How can I show you more
Why is it so hard to see
That what we have is worth fighting for
Well, I could search all my life
But I'd never find
The kind of love that I have for you
CHORUS:
How can I take it like a man
When it comes down to losing you
I've tried everything I can
Now is there nothing more that I can do
Cuz, I know it's worth it, baby
In my heart I can feel that you're afraid
To let me know what's going on inside
Well, I need to take you the rest of the way
But you're letting go, giving in
To all the fears you try to hide
Oh, now what am I to do
When those lonely nights
Leave me so empty inside
CHORUS:
How can I take it like a man
When I know that I'm losing you
And I'll never understand
Why there's nothing more that I can do
Cuz, there's no life living without you
