Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You say my name like it ain’t a warning Like it ain’t carved on a bathroom stall Like you can’t smell all the gasoline On my ripped-up overalls Your hand finds mine in a parking lot I flinch like it’s a loaded gun I learned to sleep with my boots laced tight Always ready just to run [Chorus] I’m so tired of being strong Of stitching myself back up alone Of turning every goodbye Into “girl, you should’ve known” You say you ain’t like the ones before But I’ve heard that line in a hundred songs If you’re gonna break me, break me quick ‘Cause I’m tired of being strong (so tired) [Verse 2] I got ghosts in a glovebox Bible Names I don’t say out loud Every “forever” turned into smoke When the engine gave out You touch my scars like they’re battle lines Like you ain’t here to cross You talk about staying, I hear the door Already swinging off [Chorus] I’m so tired of being strong Of stitching myself back up alone Of turning every goodbye Into “girl, you should’ve known” You say you ain’t like the ones before But I’ve heard that line in a hundred songs If you’re gonna break me, break me quick ‘Cause I’m tired of being strong (yeah) [Bridge] [Guitars drop to palm-muted chugs, vocal almost whispering] If I let these fences fall Will you plant anything at all? If I hand you every cracked-up piece Will you hold, or will you leave? (hey) [Breakdown] [Screamed gang vocals, drums in halftime] I am not your saving grace I am not your easy fix I just want a place to shake All this armor off my skin [Chorus] I’m so tired of being strong Of proving that I can carry on If you’re staying, say it twice If you’re leaving, just be gone You say you ain’t like the ones before And it scares me that I sing along If you’re gonna love me, love me true ‘Cause I’m tired of being strong (so tired, so tired) I’m tired of being strong
