I Would Be Stronger Than That lyrics

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
