[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
I know the assumption is that I'm tough
With all my anger that's fair enough
Even with friends I have to compete
And try being me when you walk down the street
It's not easy, by the by
Just surviving in the public eye

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
A little bravado does much of the work
I am no one's stepping stone
But I couldn't live life in private, alone

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
At night I am lying awake
Through the hours, trying to calculate
Am I good enough? Can I contrive
To keep this show on the road? Will I survive?

[Verse 3]
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 truth is I love you and I'd go crazy alone

[Chorus]
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
