Only the strong survive? 
Only the strong survive 
Only the wrong relive their lives 
We’ve been here a thousand times

Wish I could go back and find? 
Letters I wrote you in my mind 
Perhaps I could unknot us from this awful bind 
Most I have forgot or over refined 

Love is a sickness cured by time 
Love is a sickness cured by time? 
Bruises all end up benign? 
Love is a sickness cured by time? 
 
I hope that you can change my mind? 
I had to leave this crying all behind? 
I hope that you don’t think that I’m unkind 
Somebody told me, only and only? 
Only the strong will survive 

Only the strong will survive? 
And I won’t write a woman with a man on my mind 
I hope that didn’t sound too unkind 
I’m just struggling to figure out how 
Only, only, only, only? 
Only the strong can survive 

Hoped that you can change my mind? 
I had to leave this crying all behind? 
I hope that you don’t think that I’m unkind 
Somebody told me that only and only? 
Only the strong can survive
