I'll try and pretend
like I'm not made of glass for a moment
I hope this moment lasts all day
cause I can see in your face
when you're in pain
and I'll try not to break
oh god give me strangth
and I'll try not to break for your sake
I wanna be like you
I wish that I could be strong too
cause you are
you are
you are the reason I am who I am today
and when I come home you make me feel- just like
I've never gone away
you are the reason I am who I am
who I am today
Don't try and pretend
like you don't see the elephant inside this room
we both know that it's there
and we're both quite aware
of all the damage it's caused
and the time that it's been
I'd give myself away
just for you to be okay
I wanna be like you
I wish that I could be strong too
cause you are
you are
you are the reason I am who I am today
and when I come home you make me feel- just like
I've never gone away
you are the reason I am who I am
who I am today
