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 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? 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 call me fake 'cause I'm vulnerable So vulnerable without you So vulnerable without you
