My Strongest Weakness

Wynonna Judd · Collection [1997]

the keeper of the gates of wisdom please let me in

cause I just can't go through another heartache again

pretty lies and alibis - how could I be so blind

now I'm alone and scared to stand - slowly going out of my mind



he was my strongest weakness I surrendered heart and soul

it's gonna be a long long time 'til I regain control

I'm still a prisoner held captive by his memory

he was my strongest weakness and I'm afraid he'll always be



I gave my faithful heart to someone and couldn't understand

how he held my little world in the palm of his hand

now he's gone and life goes on so if this pain will never end

will I be afraid to risk it all - ever fall in love again



he was my strongest weakness I surrendered heart and soul

it's gonna be a long long time 'til I regain control

I'm still a prisoner held captive by his memory

he was my strongest weakness and I'm afraid he'll always be

he was my strongest weakness and I'm afraid he'll always be
