Strong Girls Break Too

Lyrics

Still Standing
I paint my face with a perfect smile
Laugh a little louder, fake it for a while
Nobody sees what's hiding underneath
The girl who's drowning while she helps you breathe
Got scars that never made it to my skin
A war that's always raging deep within
I built these walls so high, I lost the door
Still standing — but I'm shaking to my core
I try to let it go
But the past won't let me grow
Screaming on the inside
While I'm smiling on the low
I'm fine, I'm fine — that's what I always say
Fine is just the mask I wear to get me through the day
I'm strong, I'm strong — but even strong girls break
All I want is peace of mind and a safe space
Don't rush me, don't fix me
Just let me find my way
I'm not broken — I'm just healing
And that's okay
I'm numb sometimes and sometimes I'm too much
Too guarded for connection, too afraid of touch
I know I'm hard to love, I know I'm hard to read
Just be patient, just be present — that's all that I need
A place where love don't come with pain attached
Where I can breathe and not look back
I don't need saving, I just need space
To finally feel safe
I've been down so long
People counted me out
But they don't know the fire
That I'm carrying now
I didn't come this far
To stay on the ground
See me — really see me
Not the girl I pretend to be
I came for my peace
I came to win
I came to finally let the light in
I'm fine, I'm fine — no, actually I'm not
I'm carrying every single thing that life forgot
I'm strong, I'm strong — but God, I'm tired too
I want my peace of mind, my safe space, and to win too
Don't rush me, don't fix me
Just let me find my way
I'm not broken — I'm just healing
And one day — I'll be okay
She wants her peace of mind
She wants her safe space
Done just surviving
She's running her own race
She came to win
And she will
