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 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 How 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 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 nothin' never proved me wrong 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 How 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 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 And I will stand tall to get by No matter how hard I try to hide 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 How did you know that I would see that through How did you know that I would play the part I know I made it clear right from the start
