Coming Up Stronger

They all say at the start
They'll be there when it gets dark
Till your eyes change shape
And there's someone in your place

Only my darling knows
The truth behind these highs and lows

It's there in the wine
It's a tale as old as time
It's the hope that you feel
Coming back to bite your heel

Only my darling knows
The truth behind these highs and lows

I'm coming up stronger
'Cause I'm coming up blind
I don't need no businessman to fix my tie
It might take longer
But I don't mind
I'd rather be myself than let myself get left behind

I don't care what you think
We all know money is your kink
I'm not a dog at your door
I don't answer to your call

Only my darling knows
The truth behind these highs and lows

I'm coming up stronger
'Cause I'm coming up blind
I don't need no businessman to fix my tie
It might take longer
But I don't mind
I'd rather be myself than let myself get left behind

Don't call me when I'm dreaming
Don't call when I'm awake
Used to think I needed you
That was my mistake
Don't tell me how I'm feeling
Don't throw me to the side
Used to think I needed you
You were scared to look me in the eye

I'm coming up stronger
'Cause I'm coming up blind
I don't need no businessman to fix my tie
It might take longer
But I don't mind
I'd rather be myself than let myself get left behind
