Vulnerable Paroles

I may be hard to take
But you can call me fake
'cause I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

I know the assumption
Is that I'm tough
With all my anger
That's fair enough
Even with friends
I have to compete
And try being me
When you walk down the street

It's not easy
By the by
Just surviving
In the public
Eye So vulnerable
Without you

I may be hard to take
But you can call me fake
'cause I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

You know I can't ever
Bear to seem weak
Or have any doubts
That's just my technique
I put in the hours
At least I don't shirk
A little bravado
Does much of the work

I am no one's
Stepping stone
But I couldn't live life
In private
Alone

You may think I'm strong
And I can do no wrong
But I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

I may be hard to take
But you can call me fake
'cause I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

At night
I am lying awake
Through the hours trying
To calculate
Am I good enough?
Could I contrive?
To keep this sham around
Will I survive?

I know you must sometimes
Think I don't care
Or even appreciate
What we share

Though I'm no one's
Stepping stone
The truth is I love you
And I'd go crazy
Alone

You may think I'm strong
And I can do no wrong
But I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

I may be hard to take
But you can call me fake
'cause I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

So vulnerable without you
