Stronger

(album: Barenaked - 2002)

I'd like you to meet the girl they call next door
You'll know cuz you've seen her face before
He left you when he broke your heart in two
You don't know if you'll ever make it through

He had to go and leave you all alone
I promise your much better on your own
Take it from me cuz I've been there
I once had a man who didn't care

Promise myself that I'd never love again
I've been hurt, I've been blind and thats the end
I've thought, I've cried, I've bled
For the love that never has been said

He'll love you, he wont love you
But you've got to
Cuz your stronger that you were before
He'll be there, he wont be there
But you've been there
And your stronger than you were before

Take a minute, make a new plan
Take a while, before a new man
Find the one that I adore
But better yet the one who loves me more

Girl to Girl I know we've all been there
In the mirror I know that we've all stared
To find a place thats within our hearts
Never let your soul and spirit part

He'll love you, he wont love you
But you've got to
Cuz your stronger that you were before
He'll be there, he wont be there
But you've been there
And your stronger than you were before

Girl I know that you'd feel better if you cry
But you well be stronger if you look inside
Love doesn't always mean that you'll see eye to eye
But great love will always help you learn to fly

You can hold him close and let him kiss you
But just not to tight hes gotta miss you
Make a love that you know your heart will preserve
your the life that all of us deserve

And he will

He'll love you, he wont love you
But you've got to
Cuz your stronger that you were before
He will be there, he wont be there
But you've been there
And your stronger than you were before

He'll love you, he wont love you
But you've got to
Cuz your stronger that you were before
He will be there, he wont be there
But you've been there
And your stronger than you were before
