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 or overrefined 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
