I Would Be Stronger Than That

Gary Burr
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 Where's her head Where's her nerve Does part of her think this is all she deserves Oh, I would be stronger I would not stay one minute longer I would be stronger than that It started out good they usually 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 Where's her head Where's her nerve Does part of her think this is all she deserves Oh, I would be stronger I would not stay one minute longer I would be stronger than that 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 Where's her head Where's her nerve Does part of her think this is all she deserves Oh, I would be stronger I would not stay one minute longer I would be stronger than that Oh, I would be stronger I would not wait one minute longer I would be stronger than that
