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 call me fake 'cause I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable without you
I know the assumption is that I'm tough
With all my anger that's fair enough
Even with friends I have [bad word] 
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 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
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 call me fake 'cause I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable without you
At night I am lying awake
Through the hours, trying to calculate
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 [bad word] 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
I may be hard to take but you can call me fake 'cause I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable without you
So vulnerable without you
