Strongest

Ina Wroldsen

You sit there with that look on your face like you won
Like nothing that I say is gonna change how you feel now
You sit there, and you tell me you fell outta loveAnd we are in your way, so you just gotta leave now

And we just need to understand your reasons
And you are gonna justify this treason
By telling me the promises that we sworn ain′t enough
So now you gonna be another person?
And how do I explain this shit to our son?
How'd you tell a toddler about a girlfriend?
Daddy′s gone

Well, I will be the strongest that he ever knew
And I will be there when he needs a love strong enough
Don't worry, I will carry your share for us
No matter how bad the storm
I will be strongest that he ever knew
And we'll leave you alone

You sit there with your phone in your hands, and you′re hurt
You tell me that you feel like you lost me when he came
I′m sorry, but I cannot connect with your words
'Cause right now what matters isn′t yours, but it is his name

And we just need to find another income
'Cause she wants you to help her with her own one
And you want me to tell me that what you′ve done is okay
So now you gonna be another father?
And I will be a different kind of mother?
And you'd tell a toddler ′bout stepbrothers?
Daddy's strayed

Well, I will be the strongest that he ever knew
And I will be there when he needs a love strong enough
Don't worry, I will carry your share for us
No matter how bad the storm
I will be strongest that he ever knew
And we′ll leave you alone

Let′s talk about family
Let's talk about family
Let′s talk of the ties and the lies
And the love that we had in this family
Let's talk about honesty
You know nothing about honesty
I′ll let go of your hands and our plans
And the chance that we had with this family

Well, I will be the strongest that he ever knew
And I will be there when he needs a love strong enough
Don't worry, I will carry your share for us
No matter how bad the storm
I will be strongest that he ever knew
And we′ll leave you alone
Oh na-na, we'll leave you alone
