Strong Too Long

No concern for the Stoic one
She has never yet ever come undone
But she's barely holdin' on
She's been strong too long

She's like a boat about to spring out of the lake
Like my metaphors, she's tired and weak
And now I would like to say I'm sorry
To everyone for this decorum breach

Barely holdin' on
She's been strong too long

We try so hard to be okay
But we get mangled anyway
Trippin' over roots
I've got to find a way to let go
Of these doors I've been holdin' closed
'Cause I want more than this
I want happiness

So while they cry for her knocked out shoes
And her secret sad news
She's been strong too long
