[Verse 1]
My love, we have seen it all
The endless confession, the rise and fall
As fragile as a child
But lately I'm sorry I can't hold a smile

[Chorus]
But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
How did you know I'd take the time for you?
Did you know that I would see you through?
How did you know that I would play the part?
I must've made it clear right from the start

[Verse 2]
My love, can you give me strength?
Somehow I forgot how to ease my pain
I know I'm right where I belong
Something from nothing never proved me wrong

[Chorus]
But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
How did you know I take the time for you?
Did you know that I would see you through?
How did you know that I would play the part?
I must've made it clear right from the start

[Verse 3]
I would share my whole life with you
Would you do the same for me?
I would give all I am to you
Would you do the same for me?

[Chorus]
And I will stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
You could you see?
I could break
Did you notice all my mistakes?
There were times I could feel you read my mind
How did you know I'd take the time for you?
And did you know that I could see right through?
Did you know that I would play the part?
I know I made it clear right from the start
