Only the Strong

Only the strong survive

Only the strong survive

Only the wrong relive their lives

We've been here a thousand times

Wish I could go back and find

Letters I wrote you in my mind

Perhaps I could unknot us from this awful bind

Most I have forgot are all very fine

Love is a sickness cured by time

Love is a sickness cured by time

Bruises all end up benign

Love is a sickness cured by time

I hope that you can change my mind

Had to leave this crying all behind

I hope that you don't think that I'm unkind

So somebody told me, only and only

Only the strong will survive

Only the strong survive

And I won't write a woman with a man on my mind

Hope that didn't sound too unkind

Just struggling to figure out how only, only

Only, only

Only the strong can survive

Hope that you can change my mind

I had to leave this crying all behind

I hope that you don't think that I'm unkind

It's just somebody told me only and only

Only the strong can survive
