Strong Ones

(album: Tomboy - 2019)

I'm everybody's friend, I'm everybody's mother
I'm everybody's shrink, I'm everybody's shoulder
When I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling
I say I got it, I got it, don't worry about it
I'm the one to keep cool, I'm the designated driver
Without me a house of cards, I'm the glue when pieces shatter
When I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm like I got it, I got it, I got it

I take the weight you feel, you ain't even gotta ask
And you wonder why it's easy
I put it all on my back, to be honest
Making all of your problems my problems

You say, say that you know me
But what do you know?
And I hear you, I hear you, you need me
But I need you the most
It's always the steady that needs something to hold
Yeah, it's always, it's always the strong ones that need you the most

Show up, show up, show up
Show love, show love, show love
Show up
'Cause sometimes the strong ones...
Need you the most

Love on tap, and I need some of it back
You know me, I ain't never gonna ask
I love you in that way
I need to know, can you do the same?
I'm your rock, but you don't know the
Work it takes to keep composure
But if I wanna break
I wanna know, would it be okay?

I take the weight you feel, you ain't even gotta ask
And you wonder why it's easy
I put it all on my back, to be honest
Making all of your problems my problems
But what happens when I got 'em?

You say, say that you know me (You know me)
But what do you know? (What do you know?)
And I hear you, I hear you, you need me
But I need you the most (Woah)
It's always the steady that needs something to hold (It's always the steady)
Yeah, it's always, it's always the strong ones that need you the most

Show up, show up, show up (Yeah)
Show love, show love, show love
Show up
'Cause sometimes the strong ones...
Need you the most

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you (Yeah)
Ah, oh-oh-oh...
(Oh, I need you, I need you)
