Strong at the Broken Places

When the knife sinks in and the scar wont fade

Wounds on display like a walk of shame

Faking my way, one day at a time

I'll be fine. No reason to cry

Cause I play my poker face

Pain as my aces

Making me strong at the broken places

Walking on a dagger

I won't stagger, no

It's making me strong

Strong at the broken places

Cuts as graces

When each thought strikes like a hammer to the heart

Feeling brittle and broke. There's no hope

Fallin' apart. Ripping at the seams

But long lost dreams aren't out of reach

Cause I play my poker face

Wounds as my aces

Making me strong at the broken places

Walking on a dagger

I won't stagger, no

It's making me strong

Strong at the broken places

No more traces

Wounds that kept me down can't break me down

These stitches are my shield on the battlefield

Pain will give me gain

My soul will give me strength

Cause all my shame is gone in flame

So I play my poker face

Pain as my aces

Making me strong at the broken places

Walking on a dagger

But I won't stagger, no

It's making me strong

Strong at the broken places

Wounds as graces

I play my poker face

Pain as my aces

Making me strong
