The Strong One

Something kinda strange is going on in my heart
And no one knows a thing about it
I built a reputation around being okay
So no one ever questions me

I'm good
I'm fine
Not true
Sounds nice
But oh
It hurts so bad
Feeling all that alone

I don't wanna fall apart, but I am
And I can't put myself back together
I don't wanna let you know how I am
But I'm not getting any better
Just ask for help
I keep telling myself
I can't go on pretending
But that would mean
That I'd have to be done
Being the strong one

I'm the type of person my friends call for help
They come to me with all their problems
Just because I know how to help you with yours
Doesn't mean I don't have some of my own

No worries mate
I'm doing great
I'm fine
No, it's all good
I say, but it's a lie

I don't wanna fall apart, but I am
And I can't put myself back together
I don't wanna let you know how I am
But I'm not getting any better
Just ask for help
I keep telling myself
I can't go on pretending
But that would mean
That I'd have to be done
Being the strong one
Being the strong one
Being the strong one

Would I even know
Would I even know
What to ask for

Do I even know
Do I even know
What I feel

Would I even know
Would I even know
What to ask for

Do I even know
Do I even know
How I feel

I don't wanna fall apart, but I am
And I can't put myself back together
I don't wanna let you know how I am
But I'm not getting any better
Just ask for help
I keep telling myself
I can't go on pretending
But that would mean
That I'd have to be done

And I don't know
If I'm ready to be done
But it's time for me
I need to be done
Being the strong one
Being the strong one

Is it okay not to be okay
Is it okay not to be okay
Yeah, it's okay not to be okay
Yeah, it's okay not to be okay
