Lyric Is It Safe?

time can t fix it fast enough,
so we won t notice what it was that went wrong
I saw something there much too familiar
a butterfly with a broken wing
she s fallen under, she s past the end,
communication is down again
the scars have healed but they re back again
we ve got to believe this man must bend
because if you could you d try and destroy her
and there we would be with nothing at all

Is it safe to be a man
when your tired and lonely
only the confident know where to stand

Is it safe to be man
when the world is loaded with thousands
that can t figure out just what they did
time can t fix it fast enough,
so we won t measure just how far below you kept pushing her
you ll have to pay back all of the years that you stole
she s walking backwards,
she s spun around her ears are ringing loud,
how does it feel, does it make you mad?
she s on her knees
please understand how obvious it is
that this man must bend
