[Verse 1]
My love, we have seen it all
The endless confession, the rise and fall
As fragile as a child
Lately I'm sorry I can't hold a smile
[Chorus]
But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
Did you know I take the time for you?
Did you know that I would see you through?
Did you know that I would play the part?
I must've made it clear right from the start
[Verse 2]
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 nothing never proved me wrong
[Chorus]
But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
Did you know I take the time for you?
Did you know that I would see you through?
Did you know that I would play the part?
I must've made it clear right from the start
[Verse 3]
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?
[Chorus]
And I will stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
Could you see I've been brave?
Did you notice all my mistakes?
There were times I could feel you read my mind
Did you know I take the time for you?
Did you know that I would see you through?
Did you know that I would play the part?
I know I made it clear right from the start
My love, we have seen it all
The endless confession, the rise and fall
As fragile as a child
Lately I'm sorry I can't hold a smile
[Chorus]
But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
Did you know I take the time for you?
Did you know that I would see you through?
Did you know that I would play the part?
I must've made it clear right from the start
[Verse 2]
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 nothing never proved me wrong
[Chorus]
But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
Did you know I take the time for you?
Did you know that I would see you through?
Did you know that I would play the part?
I must've made it clear right from the start
[Verse 3]
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?
[Chorus]
And I will stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
Could you see I've been brave?
Did you notice all my mistakes?
There were times I could feel you read my mind
Did you know I take the time for you?
Did you know that I would see you through?
Did you know that I would play the part?
I know I made it clear right from the start
