Standing outside your kitchen with nowhere to hide
would you offer me coffee or would you leave me outside
looking into your kitchen looking into your eyes
would you offer me grace or would you tell me more lies
Only - only the strong survive
poor me tears in my eyes
only - only the strong survive
poor me - these tender lies
Running out of your bedroom losing a shoe
I dreamed of disaster my dream came true
I offered you roses you showed me the door
didn't even allow me to sleep on your floor
Only - only the strong survive
poor me tears in my eyes
only - only the strong survive
poor me - these tender lies
I sent you long letters asking you why
you returned them unopened didn't even reply
so I put up your picture on my living room wall
now I wait for the moment the picture will fall
Only - only the strong survive
poor me tears in my eyes
only - only the strong survive
poor me - these tender lies
