Vulnerable

Vulnerable (Tennant/Lowe)
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 to compete
and try being mean 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
A 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
Am 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 truth 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
