Man of Steel (country)

verse
You've set your pride
out on display
pretendin' its easy
to walk away

dodgin' love's bullets
to avoid the hurt
bitin' your tongue to withold
those three little words

I take a step closer
you take two steps back
keepin' perfect balance
in your solo act

chorus
there's no such thing
as a man of steel
so why try to hide
the way that you feel

there's nothin' you're hidin'
I don't already know
I've read you like a book
you've been exposed

so take off your shoes
there's nowhere to run
I'll fill in the blanks
you know that I'm the one

verse
tell me the value of
an emotionless man
usin' pockets to hold
his lonely hands

perfect hearing in
both of his ears
to hear all the silence
year after year

just a little wink
to show how you feel
that's all I need to know
to seal the deal

chorus

bridge
love can be so
hard to control
but runnin' from its flame
will just make you cold

timeless

Pretty good I think...

Nice work. Simple, yet competently written.
