In time of trouble we put on new clothes
And hide the pain from those we seek to hold
In a stranger's bed a stranger lies
And happiness goes stale inside
But we try and try
Wish I could try
Wish I could lie
Wish I could bear to say goodbye
Wishing I'm gone
Wishing I'm strong
Wishing our love would carry on
In moments of your madness I portray
The ability to hide from what I say
When the lights go out they come to town
And hope that they can burn it down
And they'll try and try
In times of stress when hope begins to fade
We rely on those who make us less afraid
When I'm feeling weak
You make me strong
If I lose my way you take me along
And you try and try
I'm wishing I'm strong
I'm wishing I'm strong
