I wondered was my love too strong

because we didn't last long.

Were your words all lies

or did you think I wouldn't rise?

We were floating on cloud nine,

and I just knew you were all mine.

I had this feeling in my heart

that we'd never be torn apart.

You tore me down,

and I knew, without you, I'd drown.

You broke my heart in two.

How to fix it? I didn't have a clue,

but still, like Superwoman, I'll rise.

You said, " Our love is forever."

Boy weren't those words clever.

We had so much ambition,

but you messed up our vision.

Still, standing all alone, I'll rise.

Mama always said there was no love without war.

I guess that was my que to get off the floor.

I have to dry my teary eyes

and show you and those other guys

that still, without you, I'll rise.
