Lyrics: Telisha Jones
Music: Telisha Jones
They always say you got this but who got you
you don't want to call when the world falls down the shoulder the calm the safest sound you show up with strength when the room is full of fear
but when you need help ain't nobody near you smile through storm stay quiet through pain never let them see you buckle under the strain you laugh when your chest heavy tears on mute giving life to everybody but who waters you who checks on a strong one
the ones that smile when they're breaking apart who hears the tears that fall in the dark who hugs the backbone of the home
we're the ones who heal but feel alone strong don't mean unshaking it means we mastered faking check on us we tie it to behind the strength we're human too
mmm mmm you pour out peace like an endless cup even when your own worlds rough enough
you pray for them show love on time but no one notices you're losing your mind you help them heal help them cope speak life when you can't find hope but who sits with you when the silence screams when you're drowning slow in broken dreams
so to the man who's tired we're scared to say it to the woman who loved but don't feel it reciprocated to the kid who had to grow up too fast to the one whose peace never seems to last this world expects so much from you but forgets to ask if you're good to
don't always have to be the flame you're allowed to fall to feel to name your pain so if you're tired let go tonight you don't gotta hold the light i see you i really do and if no one asked
are you who checks on the strong ones who sees the way that you're silently lift you give the world your heart and hands but you deserve love not just demands
and breathe release let the tears fall let your soul find peace you ain't a burden you ain't too much even warriors need a healing touch
you're not alone even if it feels that way you matter more than what you give away so rest your heart take off the crown you don't have to carry everyone now
this one's for you the strong ones real
