they all think she's so strong
but what they don't see
is her life at home
her dad cuss's her out
mom puts her down
when shes away
it still doesn't end
her friends just pretend
when shes home
is when it happens
that strong girl breaks down and cry's
as she runs through her head
all the things said
you don't see it
she doesn't want you too
that strong girl everybody knows
cuts and cry's herself to sleep
just so she pretend
the next day at school
she cut so she wont cry at school so she can pretend she is strong
