If I had Strength
March 2, 2010
I tried
You lied
And now I’m down here dying
While you’re not crying
And I’m needing you
It seems I can’t quite get through
I’ve had enough
Of you acting so tough
But I don’t have the strength to leave
While you’re begging me please
We’re playing the blame game
And it’s really all the same
There’s nothing new
Between me and you
Why don’t we just stop it
Cause my heart needs a first aid kit
And I’m bleeding inside
I’m going insane in my mind
But I don’t have the strength to leave
While you’re begging me please.
