I Would Be Stronger Than That |
There’s a friend who will call |
When her husband’s asleep |
Crossing the phone lines for comfort |
And she cries that she needs him |
And someday he’ll change |
And now’s not a good time to go |
And it isn’t my place to say «leave him and run» |
That no love is worth all the damage he’s done |
But if she’ll hold her ground |
Then I’ll hold my tongue |
Ever the diplomat |
Oh, I’d like to think |
That I would be stronger than that |
Where’s her head? |
Where’s her nerve? |
Does part of her think this is all she deserves? |
Oh, I would be stronger |
I would not stay one minute longer |
I would be stronger than that |
It started out good, they usually do |
Then one day it’s taken for granted |
'Til words become weapons and love turns to pain |
Oh, why is she still holding on? |
She says living without him is too hard to face |
And I try to imagine myself in her place |
But with well chosen words and well placed tears |
She forgives him in two seconds flat |
Oh, I’d like to think |
That I would be stronger than that |
Where’s her head? |
Where’s her nerve? |
Does part of her think this is all she deserves? |
Oh, I would be stronger |
I would not stay one minute longer |
I would be stronger than that |
I know what she’s thinking and I know what she’d say |
That my life and her life are like night and like day |
And her love is the love that will save him |
Brave words, but I don’t believe them |
Where’s her head? |
Oh, where’s her nerve? |
Does part of her think this is all she deserves? |
Oh, I would be stronger |
I would not stay one minute longer |
I would be stronger than that |
Oh, I would be stronger |
I would not stay one minute longer |
I would be stronger than that |
