Apocalyptica - Not Strong Enough

Song: Not Strong Enough
Artist: Apocalyptica (Featuring Brent Smith)
Album: 7th Symphony

Apocalyptica is a Finnish metal band from Helsinki, Finland.

Not Strong Enough is the third single from Apocalyptica's 2010 album 7th Symphony. 7th Symphony is the bands seventh studio album. I think the song Not Strong Enough is about someone (and sung from this person's point of view) who is in a relationship where part of him wants to leave because he knows the relationship isn't good but he can't because he's so attached to the object of his love. This person feels that he is not strong enough to walk away. As Apocalytica has no singer and most of their songs have no lyrics this song features guest singer Brent Smith. Brent Smith is the lead singer of American rock band Shinedown. I love Apocalyptica's music. The melding of classical music and metal is amazing.

"Not Strong Enough"

I'm not strong enough to stay away.
Can't run from you
I just run back to you.
Like a moth I'm drawn in to your flame,
Say my name, but it's not the same.
You look in my eyes I'm stripped of my pride.
And my soul surrenders and you bring my heart to its knees.

[Chorus:]
And it's killin' me when you're away, I wanna leave and I wanna stay.
I'm so confused,So hard to choose.
Between the pleasure and the pain.
And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right.
Even if I try to win the fight, my heart would overrule my mind.
And I'm not strong enough to stay away

I'm not strong enough to stay away
What can I do
I would die without you
In your presence my heart knows no shame
I'm not to blame
Cause you bring my heart to its knees

[Chorus]

There's nothing I can do
My heart is chained to you
And I can't get free
Look what this love's done to me

[Chorus]

I'm not strong enough, strong enough
I'm not strong enough, strong enough
I'm not strong enough to stay away
I'm not strong enough, strong enough
I'm not strong enough, strong enough
I'm not strong enough to stay away
