[Verse 1] My love, we have seen it all The endless confession, the rise and fall As fragile as a child But lately I’m sorry I can’t hold a smile
[Chorus] But I stand tall to get by No matter how hard I try to hide How did you know I’d take the time for you? Did you know that I would see you through? How did you know that I would play the part? I must’ve made it clear right from the start
[Verse 2] My love, can you give me strength? Somehow I forgot how to ease my pain I know I’m right where I belong Something from nothing never proved me wrong
[Chorus] But I stand tall to get by No matter how hard I try to hide How did you know I take the time for you? Did you know that I would see you through? How did you know that I would play the part? I must’ve made it clear right from the start
[Verse 3] I would share my whole life with you Would you do the same for me? I would give all I am to you Would you do the same for me?
[Chorus] And I will stand tall to get by No matter how hard I try to hide You could you see? I could break Did you notice all my mistakes? There were times I could feel you read my mind How did you know I’d take the time for you? And did you know that I could see right through? Did you know that I would play the part? I know I made it clear right from the start
