She tells me love is like a train
And she keeps falling off again
I guess she's sick of being left behind

She said this story's all the same
So full of circumstance and shame
I guess she's sick of watching life pass by

I said what keeps you going, what keeps you waking up
She just smiles and shrugs her shoulders, says, you know, it's not so tough"

'Cause if there's one thing in life, that I've learned so far
It's that we're all a little stronger than we think we are
And you can bend a little farther, or you can stay just how you are

She says there must be more than this
I work two jobs to feed two kids
And it's been two months since he left without goodbye

I've still got bills to pay
This world feels heavier every day
Slowly getting harder for me just to try

I said what keeps you going, what keeps you waking up
She just smiles and shrugs her shoulders, says, You know, it's not so tough

'Cause if there's one thing in life, that I've learned so far
It's that we're all a little stronger than we think we are
And you can bend a little farther, or you can stay just how you are

She said I'm trying to have faith
But even food has lost its taste
My greatest fear is I've been left here all alone

She said I miss 'em every day
All I can do is pray they're safe
Reliving memories, oh we used to call this home

She said, Sammy, I need something
Just for once in my life
I need someone else to tell me everything will be alright

I said there's one thing in life, that I've learned so far
It's that we're all a little stronger than we think we are
And you can bend a little farther, but just remember who you are
