[Verse 1] I've been livin' with a heart on the mend Wondering how will I ever be strong I know I'll live to love again I just leaned on you too long It's been an uphill fight But I'm gonna be alright [Chorus] I didn't know my own strength 'Til I had to pick myself up And carry on without your love I'm gettin' back on my feet It's been a long hard fall But I'll make it after all No, I didn't know my own strength [Verse 2] I've had oceans of tears to get through And the weight of the world on my mind There's been mountains of memories to lose And I've been beating back the blows to my pride
But 'til the times got tough I never knew what I was made of [Chorus] I didn't know my own strength 'Til I had to pick myself up And carry on without your love I'm gettin' back on my feet It's been a long hard fall But I'll make it after all No, I didn't know my own strength [Bridge] Then the times got tough And I knew what I was made of [Chorus] I didn't know my own strength 'Til I had to pick myself up And carry on without your love I'm gettin' back on my feet It's been a long hard fall But I'll make it after all No, I didn't know my own strength
