Strong
Justin Bieber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's no sophistication in my lack of patience
I'm just wishing you were better at communication
As I sit here steady waiting
Wishing that you would call my name in

Wishing I was better with the distance
It's 'cause you're the only one I'm really missing
Nobody else would be forgiving
'Cause of all the love that you give me
All of the love that you give me
All of the love that you give me, give me
(Wishing I was better at this damn thing
'Cause it's just been too long and I can't change)
Wishing I was better at this damn thing
'Cause it's just been too long and I can't change

Gotta be strong, strong, strong
Gotta be strong, strong, strong

What should I do, should I go?
Who do I talk to, nobody knows
Who knows the answer to all of my questions?
When will I get over this, over this?

Wishing I was better with the distance
It's 'cause you're the only one I'm really missing
Nobody else would be forgiving
'Cause of all that love that you give me
All of the love that you give me
All of the love that you give me, give me
Wishing I was better at this damn thing
'Cause it's just been too long and I can't change
Wishing I was better at this damn thing
'Cause it's just been too long and I can't change





Gotta be strong, strong, strong
Gotta be strong, strong, strong
