How Do I Survive

(album: Stones - 1980)

I'm not strong enough just to smile and make things easy
I can't put on that brave face anymore
I always took it for granted that I could take whatever you gave me
I guess you never really know for sure

'Cause there was never a doubt in my mind
How it was meant to be
So who do I turn to, darling, if you should leave me?

How do I survive if you break my heart? (How do I survive?)
How do I survive if you break my heart? (How do I survive?)

I've got no excuses for being your fool
I never thought that it would last forever
But after so much time together, I've come to depend on you
What else am I supposed to do?

'Cause there was never a doubt in my mind
It wouldn't be easy
But I never realized how much you mean to me

How do I survive if you break my heart? (How do I survive?)
How do I survive if you break my heart? (How do I survive?)

'Cause there was never a doubt in my mind
How it was meant to be
So who do I turn to, darling, if you should leave me?

How do I survive if you break my heart? (How do I survive?)
How do I survive if you break my heart? (How do I survive?)
How do I survive if you break my heart? (How do I survive?)
How do I survive if you break my heart? (How do I survive?)
How do I survive if you break my heart? (How do I survive?)
