Used to think I wore myself out on you
Trying to measure up
Now I know I just grew tired of forgiving you, baby
For not loving me enough

Now I realize it's in my nature
To want to hold on to what I thought it was
Just as long as I'm still just strong enough

I never had the sense to surrender
Or the grace to walk away
Always hoping against all hope
You'd have a change of heart someday

Oh, but ain't it only human nature
To want to love and be loved
Just as long as I'm still just strong enough

Though you're my greatest weakness
I keep carrying that weight
I keep looking for completeness, baby
I tell myself it's not too late
Not as long as I'm still just strong enough

With a heart that still remembers
And a love that won't give up
No, not as long as I'm still just strong enough
Though you're my strongest weakness
I keep carrying that weight
I keep looking for completeness, baby
I tell myself it's not too late
Oh no, not as long as I'm still strong enough
