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 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´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 lying awake
Through the hours trying
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
