I'm not strong enough 
Just to smile and make things easy
I can't put on that brave face anymore
I always took it for granted 
That I could take whatever you gave me
I guess you never really know for sure

'Cause there was never a doubt in my mind 
How it was meant to be
So who do I turn to darlin', if you should leave 

[Chorus: ]
How do I survive if you break my heart
How do I survive if you break my heart

I've got no excuses for being your fool
I never thought that it would be forever
But after so much time together
I've come to depend on you
What else am I supposed to do

'Cause there was never a doubt in mind 
It wouldn't be easy
But I never realized how much you mean to me

[Chorus: ]

But there was never a doubt in my mind 
How it was meant to be
So who do I turn to darlin', if you should leave

[Chorus:]
