I've been living with a heart on the mend   Wondering how will I ever be strong   I know I'll live to love again   I just leaned on you too long      It's been an uphill fight   But I'm gonna to be alright      I didn't know my own strength   Till I had to pick myself up   And carry on without your love   I'm getting back on my feet   It's been a long hard fall   But I'll make it after all   No, I didn't know my own strength      I've had oceans of tears to get through   And the weight of the world on my mind   There's been mountains of memories to lose   And I've been beating back the blows to my pride      But till the times got tough   I never knew what I was made of      I didn't know my own strength   Till I had to pick myself up   And carry on without your love   I'm getting back on my feet   It's been a long hard fall   But I'll make it after   No, I didn't know my own strength      Then the times got tough   And I knew what I was made of      I didn't know my own strength   Till I had to pick myself up   And carry on without your love   I'm getting back on my feet   It's been a long hard fall   But I'll make it after   No, I didn't know my own strength
