Strongest

You know I used to look
At the mirror and see my mom
But I'd stare 'cause I couldn't shake
The feeling that I was playin' a part

I'd lay in bed
Hear their voices say my name with pride
If only they knew
The troubled waters I hid inside

Am I strongest
When I can be true to myself?
These steps all have ledges
And even if I fall, all the same
You'd still be there
Is there not so much left to be
And there not so much left to do
Than grow old together?

You know I used to bike
By this coastline of pine and the sea
Now I'm back and the flutters
They flood in but they're welcome, you see

I thought I was weak, shrug it off
Who wouldn't wanna be me?
But you saw through the cracks
Wanted me whole, and taught me to see

That I am strongest
When I can be true to myself
These steps don't need ledges
And even if I fall, all the same
You'd still be there
And there is nothing left to be
And there is nothing left to do
Than grow old together

Ooh-ooh
Grow old together
Ooh

You know I used to look
At the mirror and see my mom

But now I'm strongest
When I can be true to myself
These steps don't need ledges
And even if I fall, all the same
You'd still be there
And there is nothing left to be
And there is nothing left to do
Than grow old together, mmm-mm
