Strong for Me
I put it all on you,
From the beginning.
Yet I remained true,
The silver lining.
It was a little too much,
And you tipped over.
Fragile to the touch,
Not much closure.
From the shadows,
Where I can’t see your face.
I was too close,
To leave without a trace.
You’re trying to stay strong for me,
But I can hear you crying.
Ohh, ohh, ohhh
I hear your tears,
Through the paper walls.
Echoes through my head,
Smoke clears.
I know I ain’t perfect,
But that’s no excuse.
For the secrets I’ve kept,
Lighting the fuse.
From the shadows,
Where I can’t see your face.
I was too close,
To leave without a trace.
You’re trying to stay strong for me,
But I can hear you crying.
Ohh, ohh, ohhh
Maybe we could’ve sorted it out,
If I kept things to myself.
Maybe we could’ve watched it sprout,
If you saw it for yourself.
From the shadows,
Where I can’t see your face.
I was too close,
To leave without a trace.
You’re trying to stay strong for me,
But I can hear you crying.
Ohh, ohh, ohhh
