You say you're gonna leave tomorrow
Is there nothing I can do to change your mind
I tried to be everything for you
Now there's so little time

I'm not going crazy
No, I won't lose my mind
I'll stay calm, unreal, a woman of steel
But why don't you feel the way I feel

I wanted you beside me
Now I'm beside myself
I can't let go, I love you so
For me there's no one else

I tried so hard to be a woman of steel
It's all too clear I'm not a woman of steel
I feel like I'm falling apart
And it's oh-so-hard to conceal
I realize I'm not a woman of steel

I tried to live my life for you
So you'd love me even more
I had no clue I was driving you
To another woman's door

Is our love beyond recapture
Is there any hope at all
Now that I know how much I depended on you
I'm not a woman of steel, no, not at all

I still want you beside me
Now I'm beside myself
I can't let go, I love you so
For me there's no one else

And I tried so hard to be a woman of steel
It's all too clear I'm not a woman of steel
I tried too hard to be a woman of steel
I'm all too real, I'm not a woman of steel
