The Strong One Lyrics

Something kinda strange is going on in my heart

And no one knows a thing about it

I built a reputation around being okay

So no one ever questions me

I'm good, I'm fine

Not true, sounds nice, but oh

It hurts so bad

Feeling all that alone

I don't wanna fall apart, but I am and I can't put myself back together

I don't wanna let you know how I am, but I'm not getting any better

Just ask for help I keep telling myself, I can't go on pretending

But that would mean that I'd have to be done

Being the strong one

I'm the type of person my friends call for help

They come to me with all their problems

Just because I know how to help you with yours

Doesn't mean I don't have some of my own

No worries, mate, I'm doing great

I'm fine

No, it's all good I say

But it's a lie

I don't wanna fall apart, but I am and I can't put myself back together

I don't wanna let you know how I am, but I'm not getting any better

Just ask for help I keep telling myself, I can't go on pretending

But that would mean that I'd have to be done

Being the strong one

Being the strong one

Being the strong one

Would I even know

Would I even know what to ask for

Do I even know

Do I even know what I feel

Would I even know

Would I even know what to ask for

Do I even know

Do I even know how I feel

I don't wanna fall apart, but I am and I can't put myself back together

I don't wanna let you know how I am, but I'm not getting any better

Just ask for help I keep telling myself, I can't go on pretending

But that would mean that I'd have to be done

And I don't know if I'm ready to be done

But it's time for me, I need to be done

Being the strong one

Being the strong one

Is it okay not to be okay

Is it okay not to be okay

Yeah, it's okay not to be okay

Yeah, it's okay not to be okay
