Even the Strongest Girls

I saw you standin' in the corner with your jacket on
And the shadows drawn on your rigid smile
Actin' like no one was there
I tried to walk you home, but you said "no,"
You didn't need no one
You kept talkin' 'bout your New York City dreams
Wearin' your pride on your sleeve

But even the strongest girls need a place to fall
A hardened heart it won't last forever
And when you can't explain why you wish I'd call
Well even the strongest girls need a place to fall

So you're lyin' in your bed with the covers tight
Another lonely night with the T.V. on
Tryin' hard not to give in
You try to close your eyes and push aside
What you don't want to feel
Rememberin' the days that you were weak
And hidin' the scars that still run deep

But even the strongest girls need a place to fall
A hardened heart it won't last forever
And when you can't explain just why you wish I'd call
Well even the strongest girls need a place to fall

You can't walk this world with your head pinned down
Stuck in the lonely crowd
You'll never hide out from the rain
And when you need a hand
Someone to lift you up and to hold onto
Don't look the other way
Someone's gotta catch you, oh!

'Cause even the strongest girls need a place to fall
A hardened heart it won't last forever
And when you can't explain just why you wish I'd call
Well even the strongest girls need a place to fall

Oh yeah
They need a place to fall
Strongest girls
Need a place to fall
Oh yeah
They need a place to fall
