All my life I had to be strong
All my life I had to stand on my own
All my life I had to protect myself
All my life...it was only me
But now… more than often
Tears start to swell up
As they roll down my cheeks
These warm tears I can no longer control
It’s as if they wanna burst outta me
I can't be strong anymore
I don't know how to be anymore
This pain within my chest
This unbearable pain
It's crushing me from inside
Please give me a minute
I need to let it out
I wanna cry
I want to cry
I can't be strong no more
My body
My mind
My heart
It's full of bruises
Bruises of all I had to take in
I don't know how to be strong anymore
I need to cry...
Who will come to my aid
Who will hold me
Who will dry my eyes
Who will fight these battles of mine
Just for a minute...
No one...
Cause it has always been me…
