Tired of being Strong

Verse 1

They call me fearless, call me brave,

Like I don't break when no one's home.

They see the smile I learned to wear,

But never hear the quiet storm.

Every scar became a story,

Every fall taught me to climb.

But no one ever stopped to wonder...

What surviving feels like inside.

Pre-Chorus

They all say, "You'll be okay,"

Like that's enough to carry on.

Chorus

I'm tired of being strong,

Everybody says I'll make it through.

I became unbreakable because no one caught me.

Now they think I don't need anyone too.

I'm everyone's safe place... who's mine?

Who's there when my world's coming undone?

I don't want another battle...

I'm just tired of being strong.

Verse 2

Some nights silence gets so heavy,

Even breathing feels too loud.

I've learned how to hide the breaking

Behind a smile that makes them proud.

I've carried dreams and carried heartbreak,

Carried hope when hope was gone.

Somewhere in all that surviving...

I forgot how to belong.

Bridge

Maybe courage isn't hiding.

Maybe strength can finally bend.

Maybe healing starts the moment

You stop pretending you're okay.

Final Chorus

I'm tired of being strong,

Always being told I'll make it through.

I became unbreakable because no one caught me...

But that doesn't mean I wanted to.

I'm everyone's safe place... who's mine?

Who's there when the lights all come undone?

If tomorrow finds me standing,

It won't be because I never fell...

It'll be because I finally let someone help.

Outro

I became unbreakable...

Because no one caught me.
