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 |
