Strength
You gotta be strong.
Don’t let ‘em see you break.
Hold yourself together.
Stand up straight.
Fake a pretty smile
To hide what’s underneath.
Don’t let ‘em see.
That’s what I tell myself
To get through every day.
It only gets harder
But the mantra stays the same.
I gotta be strong.
Can’t let ‘em see me break.
Hold myself together
And stand up straight.
Fake a pretty smile
And hide what’s underneath.
Don’t let ‘em see.
But I just want to cry.
And scream ‘til I can’t breathe.
Punch a hole in the wall.
Then give up and go to sleep.
But I’ll be strong.
I won’t let ‘em see me break.
I’ll hold myself together.
I’ll stand up straight.
I’ll fake a pretty smile.
I’ll hide what’s underneath.
I will never let them see.
