After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security
And you begin to understand that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises

And you begin to accept your defeats with your head held high and your eyes wide open
With the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child
You learn to build your roads on today
Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much
So you plant your own garden
And decorate your own soul
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers

And you learn that you really can endure
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth
And you learn and learn..
And you learn
With every good-bye, you learn.

Right Here Waiting

Oceans apart day after day,
And I slowly go insane.
I hear your voice on the line,
But it doesn't stop the pain.
If I see you next to never,
Then how can we say forever?

Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you.
Whatever it takes,
Or how my heart breaks,
I will be right here waiting for you.

I took for granted all the times
That I thought would last somehow.
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears,
But I can't get near you now.
Oh, can't you see it, baby?
You've got me goin' crazy.

[Chorus]

I wonder how we can survive this romance,
But in the end if I'm with you,
I'll take the chance!

Strong Enough

God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Nothing's true and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can't change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
It's try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?

When I've shown you that I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand
Will you be man enough to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave
