The Weakest Man
The Weakest Man: Love's Frailty Unveiled
Lyrics
It's a shame for you to do me the way you did babe
Expressing disappointment in how the person treated the speaker
Making me put you down before I was through
Forced to criticize or reject the person prematurely
You tempted me and tried me and I kept you right beside me
Despite temptation and trials, the person was kept close
You ruined me for everyone but you
The person has a lasting impact, making others less significant
It's easy to love a thing so warm and soothing
Describing the ease of loving something comforting
That gets you through the night so tenderly
Highlighting the comforting nature that helps through the night
But after all these nights with you all I remember
Reflecting on the coldness of the person's heart despite the nights together
Is forgetting just how cold your heart could be
Forgetting the coldness is a challenge
Leaving you wont be any harder than walking out the door and leaving town
Leaving the person is not harder than leaving town
But I'll be leaving knowing surviving you don't make me stronger
Surviving the person doesn't make the speaker stronger
Than the weakest man who ever turned you down
Emphasizing that rejecting the person makes the speaker stronger
The body in that pretty dress you wore dear
Describing the physical fit of the person in an attractive dress
Fit my shaking hand just like a glove
Feeling a connection through physical touch
But trembling's for the fearful old and crying
Trembling is for the fearful, not for the speaker
Getting old and sad and scared ain't worth your love
Getting old, sad, and scared is not worth the person's love
So will you let me go just like I came babe?
Asking if the person will let go of the speaker as easily as accepting
Willful clear of mind and free to see
Desiring clarity of mind and freedom while leaving
Clear enough to see the others like you
Seeing others similar to the person with clear vision
And mindful my will breaks so easily
Acknowledging the fragility of the speaker's will
Leaving you wont be any harder than walking out the door and leaving town
Leaving is not harder than leaving town
But I'll be leaving knowing surviving you don't make me stronger
Surviving the person doesn't enhance the speaker's strength
Than the weakest man who ever turned you down
Rejecting the person makes the speaker stronger than the weakest man who accepted them
