Lyrics Only The Strong - Laura Marling

Only The Strong

Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the wrong relive their lives
We’ve been here a thousand times
Wish I could go back and find
Letters I wrote you in my mind
Perhaps I could unknot us from this awful bind
Most I have forgot or overrefined
Love is a sickness cured by time
Love is a sickness cured by time
Bruises all end up benign
Love is a sickness cured by time
I hope that you can change my mind
Had to leave this crying all behind
I hope that you don’t think that I’m unkind
So somebody told me, only and only
Only the strong will survive
Only the strong survive
And
I won’t write a woman with a man on my mind
Hope that didn’t sound too unkind
Just struggling to figure out how
Only, only, only, only
Only the strong can survive
