I’ll Be Ever Strong

To you I’ll be ever strong

To you I’ll never break

You think I’m dealing

You think I’m coping

But in the dark

When I’m all alone

I fall apart

I cry until my eyes are dry

I cut until I can drop the razor

I look to the stars

And imagine living up there

I shake and quiver as I lie in bed

But by the next morning

I’ve pulled myself together

And you see me ready to work

You see me laughing

You see me thriving

But what you don’t see

Is how I am under the mask

You don’t see the scars

You don’t see the tears

But I don’t want you to

Ever see me fall apart

And so to you I’ll be ever strong
