strong enough.

This based entirely on me.

I know I

Shouldn't try to fly,

Cause I know my

Arms

Aren't strong enough, never strong enough.

 

So, why

Do I

Continue to try

Even though I

Will never be strong enough?

I'm not strong enough

To work up the nerve to confront,

Because I,

I am not strong enough.

 

I

Want to believe

Everything you say to me,

Because if I don't,

I know I'm not strong enough

To back it up.

Look, I'm not tough.

Three years, and I've already had enough.

Know why?

Cause I Am never strong enough.

 

I do not wear my heart on my sleeve,

It's on the bottom of your shoe, still hiding from me,

Cause I'm so weak.

I wish I was strong enough.

 

I wish you would believe in what I say

But you're gonna forget it anyway.

You know why?

Cause I

Am not strong enough

To deal with your criti-s-i-s-m.

Not that you really give a beaver's dam--

See what I did?

I won't even cuss,

Because I,

I am not strong enough.

 

Do you know why

I am not strong enough?
