Verse 1 She’s the one they call when the world caves in, The fixer, the fighter, the glue that holds them in. She shows up tired with a smile she rehearsed, Carrying wounds no one’s bothered to search. She pours out love till there’s nothing left, Wears “I’m fine” like a bulletproof vest. Strong on the outside, breaking within, But she still keeps going, again and again. Pre-Chorus Behind closed doors, the water runs, Tears mix with prayers she never’s done. Staring at walls in the middle of the night, Trying to convince herself she’ll be alright. Chorus She’s strong in the dark, falling apart alone, Smiling in public, breaking at home. Her soul is screaming, but her lips don’t say, “I’m not okay, I’m not okay.” She’s strong for everyone, weak when it’s hard, Holding the world with a shattered heart. Strong in the dark… but still standing tall. Verse 2 Mirror talks with a trembling voice, “You got this, girl—there’s no other choice.” She wipes her face, straightens her crown, Walks back out like she never went down. But strength don’t mean you never break, And brave don’t mean you never ache. Even warriors need somewhere safe, Somewhere they’re allowed to lay their pain. Pre-Chorus When the weight gets heavy on her chest, And being “strong” feels like a test, She wonders quietly, deep inside, Who will catch her if she lets it slide? Chorus She’s strong in the dark, falling apart alone, Smiling in public, breaking at home. Her soul is screaming, but her lips don’t say, “I’m not okay, I’m not okay.” She’s strong for everyone, weak when it’s hard, Holding the world with a shattered heart. Strong in the dark… but still standing tall. Bridge You’re allowed to cry, allowed to rest, Allowed to not be your very best. You don’t have to bleed just to prove you’re strong, You don’t have to carry it all this long. Say it out loud—“I need help too,” That don’t make you weak, it makes you true. Even broken pieces still shine, Even slow healing still takes time. Final Chorus She’s strong in the dark, but she’s learning to speak, Learning that strong don’t mean never weak. She’s letting the mask finally fall away, Saying, “I need you. I’m not okay.” She’s still enough in her shattered parts, Still worthy of love, still worthy of grace. Strong in the dark… But she won’t stay there. Outro This is for you, sis—every tear you hide, Every night you survive. You don’t have to do it alone anymore.
