Not that strong

"Not that strong" is a song by LorD and Master from the album Fractured, and also the third single to be taken from that, the twelfth original studio album. The song is about two people who are hopelessly in love, but also hopeless in love. One has been unfaithful, while the other has transgressed in some other way and they realise that they've reached a point in their relationship where the sheen may have gone and everything seems lacklustre.

Lyrics

I 
Can’t take away your freedom
Don’t wanna hold you back
Don’t wanna be the reason

You
Seem so melancholy
I try to understand it
But it’s just folly

I’ll only say I’m sorry
If you admit that you were wrong
Temptation reared its ugly head
You proved you’re not that strong

I
Know what has transpired
I’m not that big a fool
I know that you were wired

You
Started acting guilty
Discussed it with your friends
Put it to the committee

We always said we’d forsake all others
The promises we made
But over time we realise
That rainbows always fade
