strong to long

[verse 1] we've been walking through the fire, acting like we never tire. holding everything together with a smile, even when the roads been rough for miles. people see the surface and think we're fine, but they don't know the storms we hide behind. [prechorus] ever step, every breath, we've carried on, even when the nights felt twice as long. [chorus] we don't cry because we're weak, No, we cry' cause we've been strong for too long. lifting up the world with shaking hands, trying to stand tall when we barely can. [verse 2] we've been the rock for everybody else, giving all we had and nothing for ourselves. told to "stay tuff""stay brave""stay bold", but even iron hearts can break when they get cold. there's a limit to the weight a soul can take, and sometimes strength is found in what we let break. [prechorus] so if the tears start falling down our face, it's just the dam giving way to grace. [chorus] [bridge] maybe letting go is how we heal, maybe tears reveal the truth we never say. strength ain't always how you stand-sometimes it's how you break. in the breaking, we can breath again, find the courage just to feel again. [final chorus] we don't cry because we're weak, No, we cry'cause we've been strong for to long. trying to stay steady while the world keeps spinning, fighting every fight like we're built for winning. we don't fall'cause we're fragile or wrong-we've just been strong... for to long [outro] so let the tears fall where they belong, even worriers need a place to fall apart. we're not breaking-we're just moving on, finding strength inside a softer heart
