Not as Strong as You Think

(Verse 1)

They see my smile, a mask I wear,

But deep inside, I’m gasping for air.

I’ve built this wall, brick by brick,

Yet every crack makes my heartbeat sick.

"Be strong," they say, "Just hold the line."

But the weight I bear, it isn’t just mine.

I scream in silence, I fall apart,

Carrying the pieces of a broken heart.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m tired of the lines they’ve drawn,

The endless fight to just hold on.

Do they know the cost of my disguise?

(Chorus)

I’m not as strong as you think I am,

This fragile soul, it’s slipping like sand.

You call it courage, I call it pain,

Fighting shadows in the pouring rain.

I’m not invincible, I’m not a stone,

Just a weary heart, breaking alone.

Don’t you see me? Don’t you care?

I’m screaming loud, but you’re not there.

(Verse 2)

Every “sabar ya” feels like a lie,

A hollow echo as I wonder why.

You hear my words, but not my plea,

A shattered soul you’ll never see.

It’s not just love that leaves its scar,

The weight of life, it tears apart.

A thousand battles fought unseen,

Behind these eyes, a hidden scene.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’ve learned to bleed without a sound,

To wear this pain like a thorny crown.

But how long ‘til the pieces fall away?

(Chorus)

I’m not as strong as you think I am,

This fragile soul, it’s slipping like sand.

You call it courage, I call it pain,

Fighting shadows in the pouring rain.

I’m not invincible, I’m not a stone,

Just a weary heart, breaking alone.

Don’t you see me? Don’t you care?

I’m screaming loud, but you’re not there.

(Bridge)

If strength is silence, then I am weak,

If healing’s in words, let me speak.

I’m tired of pretending, of standing tall,

When all I want is to finally fall.

(Final Chorus)

I’m not as strong as you think I am,

This broken soul is all I have.

You call it brave, I call it pain,

Dancing alone in the endless rain.

I’m not invincible, I’m not a stone,

Just a weary heart, breaking alone.

If you could see me, if you’d just stay,

Maybe this darkness wouldn’t feel so gray.

(Outro)

I’m not unbreakable, I’m not a king,

I’m just tired of fighting everything.

So hold my hand, don’t let me drown,

In a world that only lets me down.
