Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I’ve been the shoulder everybody leans on The steady hand, the “I’ll be fine” Built these walls out of expectation Carried the weight like it was mine Smiled through cracks in the mirror Said I don’t bend, I don’t break But strength can turn into a prison When you don’t know how much you can take Pre-Chorus I was the rock in the storm Never letting it show But rocks still weather in silence And nobody knows Chorus I’m breaking the chains, I’m letting them fall Don’t have to be the strongest one at all I’m laying the armour down tonight Letting somebody hold me tight No more pretending I don’t feel pain No more dancing in the pouring rain I’m free from the role I had to play Breaking the chains — I’m okay not being okay Verse 2 I wore my courage like a costume Stitched together out of fear If I stayed strong for everybody Maybe no one would see the tears But bravery isn’t hiding And power isn’t standing alone Sometimes the bravest thing you’ll ever do Is admit you can’t carry it on your own Pre-Chorus I don’t have to be steel I can finally breathe There’s strength in surrender In letting myself be Chorus I’m breaking the chains, I’m letting them fall Don’t have to be the strongest one at all I’m laying the armour down tonight Letting somebody hold me tight No more pretending I don’t feel pain No more dancing in the pouring rain I’m free from the role I had to play Breaking the chains — I’m okay not being okay Bridge What if the real strength Is trusting the hands that reach? What if the healing Is finally letting them see? The cracks in the armour The truth underneath — I’m not made of iron I’m human, I’m me Final Chorus (bigger, softer at the end) I’m breaking the chains, I’m setting me free Not who they needed — just who I can be I’m laying the armour down tonight Stepping into softer light No more carrying all the blame No more living in that frame I’m stronger now in a different way Breaking the chains — And it’s okay… It’s okay… To not be the strongest every day.
