Lyrics

They call me strong
Like it was something I chose
Nobody asks what it cost me
Let me be tired
Let me be hurt
Let me be human
Let me need help
Everybody calls me when they don't know what to do
I know how to calm the room
I know how to carry bad news
I say I'm fine so quickly
It almost sounds true
Then I close the door behind me
And don't know who to turn to
They love the way I keep going
They never see me when I stop
They call me strong
Like I never get tired
Like I don't need a hand
Like I don't break at night
I never asked to be the one who carries it all
Maybe I only stay strong 'cause no one came when I called
Let me be tired
Let me be hurt
Let me be human
Let me need help
I've cried in locked bathrooms with the water running loud
Washed my face and walked back in before anyone found out
I remembered every promise, every birthday, every fear
I held everybody together while I disappeared
If I let one thing fall, would they still stay?
If I said, "I can't," would they look at me the same way?
They call me strong 'cause I always survive
But nobody asks what it cost me to survive
I never asked to be the one who carries it all
Maybe I only stay strong 'cause no one came when I called
Let me be tired
Let me be hurt
Let me be honest
I can't carry this alone
I don't need fixing
I don't need advice
I don't need someone telling me that I'll be alright
Just sit here beside me
Don't ask me to smile at me
Put down the weight I've carried for so long
I can still be brave
And admit that I'm scared
I can still be strong
And need someone now
Don't call me strong if it means I'm alone
Maybe strength is finally saying I can do this on my own
I don't have to be the one who carries it all
Maybe strength is letting someone see me when I fall
Let me be tired
Let me be hurt
Let me be human
Let me need help
Tonight
Tonight
Don't tell me how strong I am
Just stay
