always strong

-

You always counted on me to make sure things were going right
You never doubted that I'd be the one to end every fight
Though I was just a child, you burdened me with this
And sure, I got tougher, but my heart has paid a price
Daddy, I don't want to always be strong

I don't want to be the one
To have to step in the middle
To keep things from blowin up
I just wanna be held close and safe
Have a warm chest where I can bury my face
I don't want to be
Always strong

At first you seemed so pleased every time you were with me
And I believed I made you feel loved and happy
But the truth cut me like a knife
All you wanted was a trophy on your arm
I don't want to be
Always strong

I dont' want to be the one
To have to keep this charade going on and on
I just wanna be held close and safe
Have a warm chest where I can bury my face
I don't want to be
Always strong
