Even the Weak Survive

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 --- Even the Weak Survive - Amy Rigby
