True things last.
You said that we'd last
Cause true things they always do
But this one didn't last
So maybe it just wasn't true
Or maybe I just wasn't true to you
And I tried
To toe the line to try to find
What it would take to make you mine again
And I got to be strong
Got to be wise
Got to be great
Got to be bright
Got to be everything you need
Could you stay with me
Till I get used to being lonely
Cause I know that I just can't be alone.
You said that we'd work
Cause true things they always do
But this one didn't work
So maybe it just wasn't worth the time it took
To get it off the dirt
And I've changed
Everything about me everything I thought I'd never be
To try to make you see
Do I have to be strong
Have to be wise
Have to be great
Have to be bright
Have to be everything you need
Could you stay with me
Till I get used to being lonely
Cause I know that I just can't be alone.
I don't mind if they say
That this chain will break someday
I don't mind if they say
That this chain will break someday
But I got to be strong
Got to be wise
Got to be great
Got to be bright
Got to be everything you need
Could you stay with me
Till I get used to being lonely
Cause I know that I just can't be alone.
Could you stay with me
Till I get used to being lonely
Cause I know that I just can't be alone.
You said that we'd last
Cause true things they always do.
