a close up of a white marble surface

My broken heart
Her tender kisses cannot mend
We used to think
Our days together had no end

If love is true then we’re the lie
We turned our backs and let it die

The street light’s glow
Blurred by dirty windows and the rain
And I know the light of day
Won’t stop the pain

We’ve left our hearts defenseless
How we beat them senseless
Is a shame

(Bridge)
Let’s stop pretending
And find an ending
To the fall

Put old memories behind us
And make sure they don’t find us
And let pride win the game
Standing without shame

Strong and Tall

(Chorus)
I’m standing tall
Too proud
Just let it all
Fade away
Our love
Of yesterday

Love is hard, Pride is free
Truth is just a memory
Now you say you don’t care
We can’t find the meaning anywhere

Like pages torn and left to fade
Old memories leave us betrayed

Bourbon eyes
Holding back the answer to your lies
Can’t you see we’ve given this a thousand tries
The love we knew has passed away
Like roses on a grave decay

Strong and Tall
