You may think I'm strong

And I can do no wrong

But I'm vulnerable

So vulnerable

Without you



I may be hard to take

But you can call me fake

'cause I'm vulnerable

So vulnerable

Without you



I know the assumption

Is that I'm tough

With all my anger

That's fair enough

Even with friends

I have to compete

And try being me

When you walk down the street



It's not easy

By the by

Just surviving

In the public

Eye



You may think I'm strong

And I can do no wrong

But I'm vulnerable

So vulnerable

Without you



I may be hard to take

But you can call me fake

'cause I'm vulnerable

So vulnerable

Without you



You know I can't ever

Bear to seem weak

Or have any doubts

That's just my technique

I put in the hours

At least I don't shirk

A little bravado

Does much of the work



I am no one's

Stepping stone

But I couldn't live life

In private

Alone



You may think I'm strong

And I can do no wrong

But I'm vulnerable

So vulnerable

Without you



I may be hard to take

But you can call me fake

'cause I'm vulnerable

So vulnerable

Without you



At night

I am lying awake

Through the hours trying

To calculate

Am I good enough?

Could I contrive?

To keep this sham around

Will I survive?



I know you must sometimes

Think I don't care

Or even appreciate

What we share



Though I'm no one's

Stepping stone

The truth is I love you

And I'd go crazy

Alone



You may think I'm strong

And I can do no wrong

But I'm vulnerable

So vulnerable

Without you



I may be hard to take

But you can call me fake

'cause I'm vulnerable

So vulnerable

Without you



So vulnerable without you
