It used to be so easy
To fall into your arms and hide
Now you can’t protect me
From all the pain and fear inside
I’m trying to beat it
If I can defeat it
everything is going to be okay
I’ve got to find a way
It used to be so simple
Words could not describe our love
Now you can’t defend me
In a struggle just to rise above
I don’t mean to hurt you
I will never desert you
Every breath I take I realize
We’ve got to find a way to compromise..
You gotta give a little more
Then you take a little less
If you make a mistake
Well you better confess
Sometimes you’re right
And sometimes you’re wrong
When the going gets tough
You’ve got to be strong
It used to be so special
The moments that we held so dear
Now you don’t believe me
The future seems so unclear
I wish I could measure
The height of the treasure
Every time I look into your eyes
I know we’ll find a way to compromise
You gotta give a little more
Then you take a little less
If you make a mistake
Well you better confess
Sometimes you’re right
And sometimes you’re wrong
When the going gets tough
You’ve got to be strong - I’ve got to be strong
