I Would Be Stronger Than That

Faith Hill

There's a friend who will call 
When her husband's asleep 
Crossing the phone lines for comfort 
And she cries that she needs him and 
Someday he'll change 
And now's not a good time to go 
And it isn't my place to say leave him and run 
That no love is worth all the damage he's done 
But if she'll hold her ground 
Then I'll hold my tongue, ever the diplomat 
Oh, I'd like to think 
That I would be stronger than that 

CHORUS: 
Where's her heard? 
Where's her nerve? 
Does part of her think this is all she deserves? 
Oh, I would be stronger 
I would not stay one minute longer 
I would be stronger than that 

It started out good, they usually do 
Then one day it's taken for granted 
'Til words become weapons and love turns to pain 
Oh, why is she still hanging on 
She says living without him is too hard to face 
And I try to imagine myself in her place 
But with well chosen words and well placed tears 
She forgives him in two seconds flat 
Oh, I'd like to think 
That I would be stronger than that 

REPEAT CHORUS 

I know what she's thinking and I know what she'd say 
That my life and her life are like night and like day 
And her love is the love that will save him 
Brave words but I don't believe them 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Oh I would be stronger 
I would not stay a mintue longer 
I would be stronger than that
