Only The Strong

Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the wrong, they live 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, or over refined

Love is a sickness killed by time
Love is a sickness killed by time
Bruises all, end up benign
Love is a sickness killed by time

I hope that you can change my mind
Had to leave this crying all behind
I hope you don't think that I'm unkind
Just 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

I hope that you can change my mind
I had to leave this crying all behind
I hope you don't think that I'm unkind
Just somebody told me
Only and only
Only the strong can survive
