Standing outside your kitchen with nowhere to hide would you offer me coffee or would you leave me outside looking into your kitchen looking into your eyes would you offer me grace or would you tell me more lies Only - only the strong survive poor me tears in my eyes only - only the strong survive poor me - these tender lies Running out of your bedroom losing a shoe I dreamed of disaster my dream came true I offered you roses you showed me the door didn't even allow me to sleep on your floor Only - only the strong survive poor me tears in my eyes only - only the strong survive poor me - these tender lies I sent you long letters asking you why you returned them unopened didn't even reply so I put up your picture on my living room wall now I wait for the moment the picture will fall Only - only the strong survive poor me tears in my eyes only - only the strong survive poor me - these tender lies
