Vulnerable

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't call me fake

'Cause I'm vulnerable, so vulnerable without you

I know the assumption is that I'm tough

And with all my anger, that's fair enough

Even with friends I have to compete

And try bein' 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't 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't call me fake

'Cause I'm vulnerable, so vulnerable without you

At night, I am lyin' awake

Through the hours tryin' to calculate

Am I good enough? Can I contrive

To keep this show on the road? 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't call me fake

'Cause I'm vulnerable, so vulnerable without you
