I Would Be Stronger Than That Lyrics

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

 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 wait one minute longer

 I would be stronger than that
