| Used to think I wore myself out on you |
| Trying to measure up |
| Now I know I just grew tired of forgiving you, baby |
| For not loving me enough |
| Now I realize it’s in my nature |
| To want to hold on to what I thought it was |
| Just as long as I’m still just strong enough |
| I never had the sense to surrender |
| Or the grace to walk away |
| Always hoping against all hope |
| You’d have a change of heart someday |
| Oh, but ain’t it only human nature |
| To want to love and be loved |
| Just as long as I’m still just strong enough |
| Though you’re my greatest weakness |
| I keep carrying that weight |
| I keep looking for completeness, baby |
| I tell myself it’s not too late |
| Not as long as I’m still just strong enough |
| With a heart that still remembers |
| And a love that won’t give up |
| No, not as long as I’m still just strong enough |
| Though you’re my strongest weakness |
| I keep carrying that weight |
| I keep looking for completeness, baby |
| I tell myself it’s not too late |
| Oh no, not as long as I’m still strong enough |
