Lyrics
So Strong
Did I ever tell you I keep a memory in my pocket?
Just in case I have a good day
Then I pull it out like it?s some sentimental locket
Crack it open and fill back up with shame
But if you need someone to tell you that you?re alright
And you want me to come over right away tonight
I?ll have the right words ready and hold you quiet while you cry
And stumble home alone contemplating suicide
Man I think I should get some kind of award
This acting things not hard
In fact I?m getting bored with my role
I?m typecast, I?ve played hero so long
She thinks I?m so strong
Amphetamine dreams are like your fingers in a socket
Dangerous and not the nicest ride
You keep going back because you?re curious
About the shock and you think you?re grounded but
Consequence don?t ever lie
I?m on location again
I?ll get there as soon as I can
I?ve practiced long and hard for this scene
It?s when she catches on and I act Oscar like strong
And I keep her away from me
Sometimes I think it might be easier to give up
And take my chances on the other side
All my friends they seem to have the capability to get up when they?re hurting
What happened to mine?
Did I ever tell you I?m not strong?
