"Strong Enough" lyrics

Reuel, stop playing

I know you've been put through the ringer
But I'm proud of us and how much we've grown
You said that you'd never date a singer
But you have me singing like Jodeci
You couldn't leave me alone

I know what the comments do to your mind
You shouldn't read 'em
Find somethin' better to do with your time
Like support me, I need it
You know what you signed up for
And what came with the territory
And now you can't take no more
Same old R&B story and I don't like the ending

I thought we were strong enough
If we lost count, then we'd start back at one
Guess forever wasn't long enough
Now I just sit around and think about me and you

Out on tour, all them days I had to spend without you
Stayin' up past 4, waitin' for my call to come through
Your first thought is, "He must be with some whore
Screaming, 'Gimme, gimme more'"
That might've been the case before

And girl, that's why I don't blame ya
'Cause I know I lost your trust
But how can we get past this
If you're always bringing shit up?
Lovin' me ain't always easy
But you knew that before you met me
Now you're missin', I'm sick because God is my witness
Uh

Thought that we were strong enough
If we lost count, then we'd start back at one
Guess forever wasn't long enough
I sit around and think about me and you (Baby)

I thought we were strong enough
If we lost count, then we'd start back at one
Back at one
Guess forever wasn't long enough
Long enough
Now why'd you sit around and think about me and you

We fight
Then go to couples therapy
We tried everything
But the one thing that we didn't do was hold on

Strong enough
I swear to God I wanted this to work
Back at one
I just made it worse
Long enough
I just you sit around and think about me and you

This can't be true
Strong enough
We could've made it last
Girl, this too shall pass
Back at one
I know I said I wouldn't cry
Long enough
What you're looking for I hope you find
Guess I ran out of time
I love you too, goodbye
