Define to me if you can
The measure of a man
Is it how he makes you feel safe
Or cruel words that make you feel disgraced
Is it candy and roses
Or black eyes and bloody noses
Is it the gentle touch of his hand
Or fear when you don’t obey his jealous commands
Is it sleeping in his arms at night
Or his unfaithful lies
Is it breakfast in bed
Or him wishing you were dead
Is it dinner by candle light
Or how you always fight
Is it him serenading you with poem and song
Or how everything you do is wrong
Is it how he moves Heaven and earth to prove his love
Or how nothing you do is never enough
Some one help me understand
The measure of a man
