Even the Strongest Bleed

(Verse 1)

They said I was strong, I could stand on my own

Didn’t need a mother’s arms, a father’s tone

They thought I could rise in the darkest of nights

Like a fire that burns with no need for light

(Pre-Chorus)

But even the strongest soldiers bleed

Even the bravest hearts still need

A touch, a word, a place to fall

Someone to say, “You’re not alone at all”

(Chorus)

I was crying, but no one could see

Silent storms were drowning me

Holding back the things I never said

As I watched her lying cold in that hospital bed

Father, would it hurt to care?

A little love, a little air?

We were thirsty, so we drank

Even from wells that left us blank

(Drop – Instrumental Break)

"Even the strongest bleed... Even the strongest bleed...Even the strongest bleed..."

(Verse 2)

They held my sister, wiped her tears

While I stood quiet, swallowing my fears

Was I too strong, or was I unseen?

A ghost of grief, lost in between

(Pre-Chorus)

But even the strongest soldiers bleed

Even the bravest hearts still need

A touch, a word, a place to fall

Someone to say, “You’re not alone at all”

(Chorus)

I was crying, but no one could see

Silent storms were drowning me

Holding back the things I never said

As I watched her lying cold in that hospital bed

Father, would it hurt to care?

A little love, a little air?

We were thirsty, so we drank

Even from wells that left us blank

(Bridge – Soft Vocals Emotional Build-up)

What would it cost to love me too?

To say "I see you, I hear you"

To hold my hand when I was small

Instead of waiting 'til I lost it all

(Final Chorus – Climactic Emotion, Powerful EDM Drop)

I was crying, but no one could see

Silent storms were drowning me

Holding back the things I never said

As I watched her lying cold in that hospital bed

Father, would it hurt to care?

A little love, a little air?

We were thirsty, so we drank

Even from wells that left us blank

(Outro)

"Even the strongest bleed... Even the strongest bleed... Even the strongest bleed....
