Even the Weak Survive Songtext
von Amy Rigby

I know you think she′s heartless and she's cruel
You′re probably right
She's never made someone else play the fool
She practiced all night
With a chair and rug her phone unplugged and The Rules

So do yourself a favor when you meet
You know that you might
Even though you'll never save her don′t retreat
Look on the bright side
It′s ugly now but you'll make it out alive
Even the weak survive
Even the weak survive


You′d laugh if you still had a sense of humor
Funny you don't
That rumor going round ain′t no rumor
Somebody won't fall asleep tonight
Forget her light-colored eyes
Even the weak survive
Even the weak survive

Who plans for love′s eventual slide
Why would anyone board the ride
If they knew they were gonna get thrown?
You're smart but that's all part of the trick
Makes you wish you were callous and thick
So there′s things you would never have known

Someday she′ll try to find you as a friend
Bully for her
And you'll kindly blur the details of the end
You′re so mature
If you come undone good rule of thumb
Count to five (hundred and five)
Even the weak survive
Even the weak survive
Even the weak survive
