Too Weak To Resist
Steps (Pop) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To have and to hold
We both meant every word and spoke of one above
Love could not grow cold
Then I found myself so many nights
With time my only friend
And I only saw it in your eyes
Time can be a healer or time can divide
I never meant for anyone to take you from my side
But I'm just a man (just a man)
And it comes down to this
I was just too weak to resist
If only I had know I'd cause you so much pain
I would not have strayed
And tho' I promise you I'll never fall again baby
I must lie in this bed that I made
And tho' I'm hurting you I swear it was
The last thing on my mind
And I found myself on my own
One too many times darling
Time can be a healer or time can divide
I never meant for anyone to take you from my side
But I'm just a man (just a man)
And it comes down to this
I was just too weak to resist
The song "Too Weak To Resist" is about a man who is reflecting on his past relationship and realizing that he was not strong enough to resist temptation. The song begins with the man remembering his wedding day and how he and his partner promised eternal love to each other. However, as time went on, he found himself alone frequently, and he realized too late that he was seeing signs of infidelity in his partner's eyes. He did not act on his suspicions and allowed the affair to occur, which eventually led to the end of their relationship.
The man acknowledges that he is not perfect, and he is only human, but he is grappling with feelings of regret and guilt for betraying his partner. He knows that he has caused her pain and that he must accept the consequences of his actions, even if it means being alone.
The song explores the themes of infidelity, love, and regret, and the lyrics are honest and raw. The song's chorus, "I was just too weak to resist," conveys a sense of helplessness and vulnerability, as if the man is acknowledging that he was powerless to stop himself from making a mistake.
Overall, "Too Weak To Resist" is a poignant and relatable song that explores the complexities of human relationships.
