You’re the strong one Right Phone lights up, somebody’s drowning Your name’s the one the world keeps shouting You show up fast, no questions asked Patch their wounds, ignore your past Shoulders built for other people Carrying weight that’s never equal You give advice, you hold the line But nobody asks if you’re fine You’re the calm when rooms go shaking The glue when everything is breaking The one who knows what words to say Even when you’re not okay But the cracks don’t scream They whisper slow Nobody sees What the strong ones owe Strong ones break quiet in the night Holding the world till they lose the fight Hands still steady, voice still kind While something heavy eats their mind You built the walls, you held the door You were the rock they leaned on before But nobody hears the silent plea Who’s holding you when you can’t breathe You keep the jokes, you keep the grin Never let the chaos in You solve the storms, you clear the skies But hide the thunder in your eyes You say “I’m good,” you say “all sweet Even when the ground’s beneath your feet Starts to shake from years of strain Of carrying everyone else’s pain And here’s the truth nobody told Even iron bends when it’s cold Strength ain’t silence Strength ain’t bleed Strength ain’t starving While others feed Strength is saying “I’m not okay And letting someone Carry weight Strong ones break quiet when no one knows Cracks in the armor nobody shows But the real strength isn’t standing alone It’s letting the truth finally be known You built the walls that people trust But even stone will turn to dust So let them see the human part The strongest walls have open hearts. You don’t have to be the strong one tonight
