You think I'm tough, that I can take any kind of pain
That I don't care about anything, this strength is easy to regain
When I'm with you, I seem cold, I seem strong
It's as if this strength won't die, but last long
But the truth is there's a side of me, one that I never show
The longer I hide it, the more it will grow
When I'm all alone, it starts to appear
My walls come crashing down, and my eyes fill with tears
Somehow it fades away, the tough girl I used to be
I need you to help me through this, why can't you see?
I know sometimes it seems like I don't even care
But the truth is I do, it's this pain I can't bear
I wish I could tell you what I've been hiding all along
Because the truth is it hurts, I'm not all that strong
Even though this goes against everything I seem to be
I can't hold it any longer, it's bursting out of me
I'm in love with you, from the bottom of my heart
And that's how it's always been, right from the start.
