When she told you goodbye
You didn't flinch
When she looked back

You didn't even budge an inch
You stood there like stone
But now that she's gone


[CHORUS]


How strong are you now
Without her around
You can't even keep one little bitty tear

From fallin' down
Tell me how strong are you know


Before she left you told yourself
It can't hurt that much
Now you're doubled over

Like you took a punch
No, she ain't coming back
Tell me how much can you take of that


[REPEAT CHORUS]


Tell me how strong are you now - yeah
How strong are you now - oh, oh
What's that rule you live by

You say tough guys never cry
But how strong are you now
