Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know I always had the strength to fight
But I got tired of the wars at night
Thinking they would end if I gave in
But I wasn't strong enough
[Verse 2]
To let you win
To let you win
Let you win
[Verse 3]
I knew the fight but I didn't know the cost
And how to stop the wheels when they're in spin
I thought you couldn't love a man who'd lost
No, I wasn't strong enough
[Verse 4]
To let you win
Let you win
[Verse 5]
It used to scare me to wake up wondering
If I'd forgotten what I was fighting for
You know that you said that you were weak
And I was strong, well, I wasn't strong enough
[Verse 6]
To let you win
To let you win
Let you win
To let you win
[Verse 7]
You know I always had the strength to fight
But I got tired of the wars at night
Thinking they would end if I gave in
But I wasn't strong enough
[Verse 8]
To let you win
To let you win
Let you win
