Strongest
Ina Wroldsen Lyrics

You sit there with that look on your face like you won
You appear to feel victorious or successful as I express my feelings

Like nothing that I say is gonna change how you feel now
You don't seem to be receptive or responsive to what I am saying

You sit there and you tell me you fell outta love
You communicate to me directly that you no longer love me

And we are in your way so you just gotta leave now
And you want to leave us behind while we are still in your way

And we just need to understand your reasons
You expect us to make sense of your motives

And you are gonna justify this treason
You are positioning yourself to defend or explain your betrayal

By telling me the promises that we sworn ain't enough
You assert that the vows we made to each other are insufficient

So now you gonna be another person?
Are you planning to change your identity and persona?

And how do I explain this shit to our son?
And how do I elaborate on this situation to our child?

How'd you tell a toddler about a girlfriend?
How can you describe to a young child the presence of a new romantic partner?

Daddy's gone
Daddy has left

Well, I will be the strongest that he ever knew
Despite the difficulties, I will demonstrate a steadfast and resilient spirit for him

And I will be there when he needs a love strong enough
I will provide unwavering love and support whenever he requires it

Don't worry I will carry your share for us
You don't have to be concerned because I will bear the burden for both of us

No matter how bad the storm
Regardless of how intense the turmoil becomes

And we'll leave you alone
And we will no longer pursue interaction or contact with you

You sit there with your phone in your hands and you're hurt
You seem to be experiencing pain or distress as you hold your phone

You tell me that you feel like you lost me when he came
You express the belief that you lost me when another man entered the picture

I'm sorry but I cannot connect with your words
I express regret, but I cannot empathize with your perspective

'Cause right now what matters isn't yours but it is his name
Because at present, our child's welfare is more important than your personal desires

And we just need to find another income
We must discover a new way to generate money for ourselves

'Cause she wants you to help her with her own one
Because she desires for you to contribute financially for her child

And you want me to tell me that what you've done is okay
And you expect me to forgive or accept your transgressions

So now you gonna be another father?
Are you planning to become a father to another child?

And I will be a different kind of mother?
And I will become a mother with a unique and challenging circumstance?

And you'd tell a toddler 'bout step brothers?
How can you explain the presence of other siblings to a young child?

Daddy's strayed
Daddy has strayed or betrayed the family

Let's talk about family
Let us discuss our familial bonds and connections

Let's talk of the ties and the lies and the love that we had in this family
Let us acknowledge the relationships, falsehoods, and authentic love present in our family

Let's talk about honesty
Let us examine the concepts of truthfulness, transparency, and sincerity

You know nothing about honesty
You do not possess an understanding of honesty

I'll let go of your hands and our plans and the chance that we had with this family
I will relinquish our mutual goals, aspirations, and opportunities for this family

Oh na na, we'll leave you alone
We will no longer engage with you, oh na na
