Strong at the Broken Places
When the knife sinks in and the scar wont fade
Wounds on display like a walk of shame
Faking my way, one day at a time
I'll be fine. No reason to cry
Cause I play my poker face
Pain as my aces
Making me strong at the broken places
Walking on a dagger
I won't stagger, no
It's making me strong
Strong at the broken places
Cuts as graces
When each thought strikes like a hammer to the heart
Feeling brittle and broke. There's no hope
Fallin' apart. Ripping at the seams
But long lost dreams aren't out of reach
Cause I play my poker face
Wounds as my aces
Making me strong at the broken places
Walking on a dagger
I won't stagger, no
It's making me strong
Strong at the broken places
No more traces
Wounds that kept me down can't break me down
These stitches are my shield on the battlefield
Pain will give me gain
My soul will give me strength
Cause all my shame is gone in flame
So I play my poker face
Pain as my aces
Making me strong at the broken places
Walking on a dagger
But I won't stagger, no
It's making me strong
Strong at the broken places
Wounds as graces
I play my poker face
Pain as my aces
Making me strong
Wounds on display like a walk of shame
Faking my way, one day at a time
I'll be fine. No reason to cry
Cause I play my poker face
Pain as my aces
Making me strong at the broken places
Walking on a dagger
I won't stagger, no
It's making me strong
Strong at the broken places
Cuts as graces
When each thought strikes like a hammer to the heart
Feeling brittle and broke. There's no hope
Fallin' apart. Ripping at the seams
But long lost dreams aren't out of reach
Cause I play my poker face
Wounds as my aces
Making me strong at the broken places
Walking on a dagger
I won't stagger, no
It's making me strong
Strong at the broken places
No more traces
Wounds that kept me down can't break me down
These stitches are my shield on the battlefield
Pain will give me gain
My soul will give me strength
Cause all my shame is gone in flame
So I play my poker face
Pain as my aces
Making me strong at the broken places
Walking on a dagger
But I won't stagger, no
It's making me strong
Strong at the broken places
Wounds as graces
I play my poker face
Pain as my aces
Making me strong
