Be Strong Now
And if she'd only say what's wrong
She can't go on
You've got to be
strong now
And if I come and hold you now
You'll be safe and sound
Make a lonely
face
That no-one ever sees
You see the things she believes
Since life is bittersweet and
She'd open up to me
And it's the only thing she dreams
You've gotta believe
You've got to be
strong now
And if I come and hold you now
You've got to be strong now
If I hold you now
If I hold you now
If I hold you now
Oh God, if I
could change a thing tonight
We won't be lonely
Oh God, if I could change a thing
What does it have to be this
You have to be strong now
And if I come and hold you now
You've got to be strong now
If I hold you now
If I hold you now
"I wrote this song about a girl who had very low self-esteem and couldn't seem to express
herself. I Imagined what she would be like if there was someone she could trust, like
a best friend or a lover."
- James Iha
