I Would Be Stronger Than That Songtext / Lyric

There´s a friend who will call
When her husband´s asleep
Crossing the phone lines for comfort
And she cries that she needs him and
Someday he´ll change
And now´s not a good time to go
And it isn´t my place to say leave him and run
That no love is worth all the damage he´s done
But if she´ll hold her ground
Then I´ll hold my tongue, ever the diplomat
Oh, I´d like to think
That I would be stronger than that

Chorus :
Where´s her head ?
Where´s her nerve?
Does part of her think this is all she deserve ?
Oh, I would be stronger
I would not stay one minute longer
I would be stronger than that

It started out good, they ususally do
Then one day it´s taken for granted
`Til words become weapons and love turns to pain
Oh, why is she still holding on
She says living without him is too hard to face
And I try to imagine myself in her place
But with well chosen words and well placed tears
She forgives him in two seconds flat
Oh, I´d like to think
That I would be stronger than that

Repeat Chorus

I know what she´s thinking and I know what she´d say
That my life and her life are like night and like day
And her love is the love that will save him
Brave words but I don´t believe them

Repeat Chorus

Oh, I would be stronger
I would not wait one minute longer
I would be stronger than that
