I can be strong all by myself
 i  don't need you or anyones help
 i  can be strong all by myself
 i don't need you or anyone else
 standing tall like i always done
 standing above the rain, seeing the sun
 made of concrete, stone and gravel,
 no distance is to far for me to travel
 nothing can break me i'm like steel
 go ahead, bruise me, cut me, i easily heal
 my walls are built far, thick, and wide
 making sure no one can get inside,
 you will never look into my eyes and feel my pain inside,
 you will never see the real me behind my stone mask
 so it would be useless for you to ask
 my problem is, i have this fear
 that one morning when i wake up, everyone i love won't be
here
 i don't want to wake up left out alone in the rain,
 to prevent the pain
 i know will come,
 the kind of pain i'm running from
 i'll build myself up of unbreakable stone
 and re-teach myself to be alone,
 if i'm built strong, i'll last long,
 i can be strong all by myself
 no crutches or safety pins, and no ones help
 you don't really get it, i'm pushing you away to protect
you
 because no one knows what would happen if i drag you down
too
 i'm only pushing you out to save your heart
 from the pain i hold that could rip it apart
 i love you so much i need to protect your soul
 from all the things that can turn it black as coal
 so when i say i can handle myself i really can
 strong as concrete, taller then rain is how i stand
 i'm protecting you, the pain can tear you to shreds
 i'm saving you the pain, and letting it kill me instead
