 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't call me fake

 'cause I'm vulnerable

 So vulnerable without you

I know the assumption is that I'm tough

 And 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't 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't 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
