	Story Behind the Song Couple different things... a writing exercise to see if I could write something for television--specifically for the WB network, though the title and chorus were inspired by Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Inspired by Natalie Bonelli's writing as well("Letting Go"). In the end, the lyrics came from my own personal hell, but it all worked together the way I originally envisioned it. Lyrics THE STRONG ONE (BY KIM DAVIDSON, 4-19-02) I DON’T LIKE IT HERE… WATCHING AS YOU DIVE HEADLONG INTO TROUBLE NEVER HEED THE WARNINGS, NEVER HEAR ME PLEADING--WHAT YOU WANT IS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE… HOW MANY TIMES HAS IT BEEN NOW? I’VE GOT THE WELCOME BACK SPEECH MEMORIZED YOU KNOW I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE MY OWN ADVICE, BUT I CAN’T SEEM TO LEAVE YOU HANGING… PRE-CHORUS 1: I KNOW TOO WELL WHAT’S COMING AND SOMEONE HAS TO BE THERE WHEN THE OTHER SHOES FALLS, SOMEONE HAS TO BE THE SHOULDER FOR THE ONE WHO CRIES, AND ALL I WANNA KNOW IS… CHORUS: WHY DO I HAVE TO BE THE STRONG ONE? WHY DO I HAVE TO BE THE STRONG ONE? WHY DO I HAVE TO BE THE STRONG ONE AGAIN? AGAIN…. WE’RE SPEEDING DOWN THAT SAME ROAD, PASSING ALL FAMILIAR SIGNS AND LEAVING THEM BEHIND I CAN’T SEE WHAT’S UP AHEAD… A SCARY NEW PLACE, AND I SHOULD’VE BEEN MORE CAREFUL WITH MY WISHING BUT WHAT DID I SAY ALL ALONG? YOU GOTTA DO WHATEVER’S RIGHT FOR YOU… BUT WHAT THE HELL DID KNOW? WHAT THE HELL DID I KNOW? IF I COULD TAKE IT BACK I WOULD… PRE-CHORUS 2: HOW COULD I SEE THIS COMING WHEN WE’VE BEEN DANCING FOR THIS LONG? I KNOW I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO LET YOU GO, AND THERE’S NO ONE ELSE THAT I CAN BLAME--BUT MYSELF… (CHORUS) BRIDGE: WAY TOO MUCH HAS PASSED BETWEEN US FOR ME TO SAY THAT YOU WERE WRONG…BUT IT’S HARDER NOW TO KEEP MY BALANCE IN THIS CRAZY GAME OF TUG-O-WAR (CHORUS)
