LYRICS I learned to carry storms without a sound I learned to smile when my world fell down Everybody says that I am strong But nobody asks how long I can hold on I keep my hands from shaking at the door I keep my heart from asking for more I tell myself that I will be okay Then lose a little more of me each day I’m tired of being strong When I am falling apart Tired of holding everyone While nobody holds my heart I don’t need someone to fix me I just need somewhere I belong I’m tired of being brave I’m tired of being strong I watch the people I love call me first When their whole world is starting to hurt I give them every word that they need Then go home empty and bleed silently I never say how bad it gets at night How hard it is just to turn off the lights Because I know they see me as the one Who never breaks and always gets back up I’m tired of being strong When I am falling apart Tired of holding everyone While nobody holds my heart I don’t need someone to fix me I just need somewhere I belong I’m tired of being brave I’m tired of being strong Maybe I was never made of stone Maybe I was never meant to do this alone Maybe the tears I hide in my bed Are proof there is still life inside my chest I don’t want to disappear tonight I just want the weight to feel less tight I want one person to look at me And say, “You do not have to carry everything” I’m tired of being strong But I am still holding on Tired of fighting every war With the lights all turned off I don’t need someone to save me I just need somewhere I belong I’m tired of being brave I’m tired of being strong If I break, then let me break I’ve been bent too far, for goodness’ sake Maybe falling is not losing at all Maybe I can still rise after the fall I’m tired of being strong But I am still holding on Tired of fighting every war With the lights all turned off I don’t need someone to save me I just need somewhere I belong I’m tired of being brave I’m tired of being strong If this song speaks to something you have been carrying silently, leave a comment.
