Is It Safe? Lyrics

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
