Ever since I was a young girl I've been strong for everybody else Now that I'm a little older I think it's time I let myself Cry when I need to Be shy if I want to Don't have to keep a smile Upon my face I don't want to be the strong one I don't want to pick the pieces off the floor This time I want to be the one Who needs a little shelter from the storm Keep me warm I don't want to be the strong one anymore I'm so tired of pretending Make believing everything's alright I hide all of my feelings Oh but maybe tonight I'll cry when I need to Be shy if I want to Don't have to keep a smile Upon my face I don't want to be the strong one I don't want to pick the pieces off the floor This time I want to be the one Who needs a little shelter from the storm Keep me warm I don't want to be the strong one anymore Cry when I need to Be shy if I want to Don't have to keep a smile Upon my face I don't want to be the strong one I don't want to pick the pieces off the floor This time I want to be the one Who needs a little shelter from the storm Won't somebody keep me warm I don't want to be the strong one I don't want to be the strong one I don't want to be the strong one anymore I'm gonna be shy if I want to I'm gonna cry if I want to Cause i'm not gonna be The strong one anymore
