Dont call me strong

INTRO

Mmm… Don’t call me that…

HOOK

Don’t call me strong, you ain’t feel this weight (nah…) I been holdin’ pain just to keep shit straight

PROLOGUE

You see strength… I feel survival

VERSE 1

Stop praisin’ wounds like they made me whole

I stood by hands that broke my soul (broke me…)

Loyalty turned to a joke on me

Same ones I loved took control of me

Smiled through hurt I ain’t choose to take

Stayed in places I should escape

Shook in silence, held it tight (held it…)

Cried in dark, performed in light

PRE-CHORUS

Split in two, I feel it clear (clear…)

Half still fightin’, half not here

CHORUS

Don’t call me strong, that ain’t the truth (nah…)

It’s just what pain forced me to do

Rebuildin’ bridges I ain’t break down (mm…)

Standin’ tall but I might drown

If I ain’t leave, don’t mean I’m right

I just ain’t had space to lose that fight

VERSE 2

I search for love where wounds still live (still live…)

Pour from empty, still try to give

Bullet holes where I placed my trust (mm…)

Still tryna fix what was never us

Pride was the place I used to stand

Same place they cut me where I am

Held it together, stitched up wrong (stitched up…)

Bleedin’ quiet but movin’ on

PRE-CHORUS

Split in two, I feel it clear (clear…)

One wants peace, one stuck right here

CHORUS Don’t call me strong, you don’t know cost (no…)

I been carryin’ weight, I been takin’ loss

Stayed too long where I felt alone (alone…)

Built from pain I was never shown

If I still stand, don’t mean I’m healed

I just mastered what I conceal

VERSE 3

Torn in half, yeah that’s the truth (truth…)

One still holds, one cuttin’ loose

I don’t wanna leave, can’t stay the same

That’s the war inside my brain

BRIDGE I’m still bleedin’… (still bleedin’…)

This ain’t strength, it’s just breathin’

FINAL CHORUS

Don’t call me strong, just hear my pain (hear me…)

I been standin’ in loss, walkin’ through rain

If I’m still here, it’s not ’cause I’m strong—

I just refused to be gone

OUTRO

Mmm… Don’t call me strong…
