"Tough" lyrics

Nia Smith & DESTIN CONRAD Lyrics

"Tough"

Saturday, you didn't wanna cry
Now it's got you runnin' for your life
You pull yourself together just in time
I wish I saw you fallin'
I can see the tension in your eyes
Sayin' you're okay, I know that lie
I know you stay faithful to your pride
I'm askin' you to try

Givin' up a little bit
Givin' in to me

You think you wanna be so tough, you know you got love to give
Oh, but thinkin' you is makin' it hard for us to live
I know you got to hide the way you feel
You'll ride or die that hill before I know
You won't let me down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
So you don't gotta be so tough now, now, now, now, now

My hands on your shoulder, I know it's heavy (heavy)
I'm weighin' on you, I know it even though you don't tell me
I know I'm the worst, I don't make sense
And lovin' me is so complicated (Complicated)
I'm doin' the best I can, my head's in so many places

Givin' up a little bit
Givin' in to me (Me, yeah)

You think you wanna be so tough, you know you got love to give
(Know you got love to give)
But thinkin' you is makin' it hard for us to live (Yeah)
I know you got to hide the way you feel (Way you feel, way you feel)
You'll ride or die that hill before I know (Before I know)
You won't let me down, down, down
Down, down, down, down (Down, oh)
So you don't gotta be so tough now, now, now, now, now, hey
