"the strong don't get a break" lyrics
They always say you got this
But who got you?
You're the one they call when the world falls down
The shoulder, the calm, the safest sound
You show up with strength when the room's full of fear
But when you need help, ain't nobody near
You smile through storms, stay quiet through pain
Never let 'em see you buckle under the strain
You laugh when your chest's heavy, tears on mute
Giving life to everybody, but who waters you
Who checks on the strong ones?
The ones that smile when they're breaking apart
Who hears the tears that fall in the dark
Who hugs the backbone of the home
The ones who heal but feel alone
Strong don't mean unshaken
It means we mastered faking
Check on us, we're tired too
Behind the strength, we're human too, mm-mm
You pour out peace like an endless cup
Even when your own world's roughin' up
You pray for them, show love on time
But no one notices you're losing your mind
You help them heal, help 'em cope
Speak life when you can't find hope
But who sits with you when the silence screams?
When you're drowning slow in broken dreams
To the man who's tired but scared to say it
To the woman who loved but don't feel it reciprocated
To the kid who had to grow up too fast
To the one whose peace never seems to last
This world expects so much from you
But forgets to ask if you're good too
You don't always have to be the flame
You're allowed to fall, to feel, to name your pain
So if you're tired, let go tonight
You don't gotta hold the light
I see you, I really do
And if no one's asked, how are you?
Who checks on the strong ones?
Who sees the weight you silently lift?
You give the world your heart and hands
But you deserve love, not just demands
So here's your moment, breathe, release
Let the tears fall, let your soul find peace
You ain't a burden, you ain't too much
Even warriors need a healing touch
You're not alone, even if it feels that way
You matter more than what you give away
So rest your heart, take off the crown
You don't have to carry everyone now, ah, ooh
This one's for you
The strong one's roll
But who got you?
You're the one they call when the world falls down
The shoulder, the calm, the safest sound
You show up with strength when the room's full of fear
But when you need help, ain't nobody near
You smile through storms, stay quiet through pain
Never let 'em see you buckle under the strain
You laugh when your chest's heavy, tears on mute
Giving life to everybody, but who waters you
Who checks on the strong ones?
The ones that smile when they're breaking apart
Who hears the tears that fall in the dark
Who hugs the backbone of the home
The ones who heal but feel alone
Strong don't mean unshaken
It means we mastered faking
Check on us, we're tired too
Behind the strength, we're human too, mm-mm
You pour out peace like an endless cup
Even when your own world's roughin' up
You pray for them, show love on time
But no one notices you're losing your mind
You help them heal, help 'em cope
Speak life when you can't find hope
But who sits with you when the silence screams?
When you're drowning slow in broken dreams
To the man who's tired but scared to say it
To the woman who loved but don't feel it reciprocated
To the kid who had to grow up too fast
To the one whose peace never seems to last
This world expects so much from you
But forgets to ask if you're good too
You don't always have to be the flame
You're allowed to fall, to feel, to name your pain
So if you're tired, let go tonight
You don't gotta hold the light
I see you, I really do
And if no one's asked, how are you?
Who checks on the strong ones?
Who sees the weight you silently lift?
You give the world your heart and hands
But you deserve love, not just demands
So here's your moment, breathe, release
Let the tears fall, let your soul find peace
You ain't a burden, you ain't too much
Even warriors need a healing touch
You're not alone, even if it feels that way
You matter more than what you give away
So rest your heart, take off the crown
You don't have to carry everyone now, ah, ooh
This one's for you
The strong one's roll
