You know I think its funny, She used to call me the strong one    But I don't think that 'strong' sleeps until three    I don't think strong watches Ricki Lake two times a day    And I don't think strong is me       I'm thinking strong is faith, accepting, then learning    But it can't mean understanding, because I don't understand    But see, I'm trying to learn that, Well being the strong one    that's a relative term       [Chorus]    I never was that strong    to hold her as high as she needs to be held    And I never was that strong    to love her so much, that she'd learn to love herself    And after I'de given her everything I can    I bury my head in these empty hands    I pray when everything falls a part    The end would spring a new start       Broken, God teach me some wisdom through this pain    Show me the sunshine behind this cloudy head of mine    And he gives me two trees, that have fallen on one another    But they're perfectly balanced with eachother    Now she is hangin' by her last root    And he is still hanging by, well, maybe two or three    So calls himself the strong one, but what he's missing    Is in a codependency, she needs you to love and you just    love her to need. I think you're only as strong as her dependency       [Chorus]       As fait would have it. someone she knows gives her a firm foundation    And the freedom to grow.    Well I never gave her that and maybe that hurt the most,    but you need to be needed, you need to learn to be alone.       [Chorus]
