I should be sleeping
Instead I am lying here weeping
If only you’d know where I’ve been and where I have to go
All my scars you’ve never seen, even if you have seen me naked..
I’m tattoeed from head to toe with invisible ink
You felt different
Because you felt the same
I need to talk about it in therapy
All the stuff I’ve carried for so long I can’t remember
I just don’t know how..
I AM part Aphrodite, part Hera..
I’m just always forced to be the latter
I’d wish you’d let me be the first
Just for a little while..
God, I need it so desperately
But I never get to be cuz..
Tough girls suffer the most
Yeah, tough girls suffer the most..
And the world will never believe it
Trust me, I know
I don’t need anything from anyone
I have always been alone it seems
These cruel nights, I spend them in my own company
Drowning in a sea of misery
I hurt because it hurts
I’m not the type to numb the pain
I feel every ounce of it
I guess that’s the bravest thing I do
I can say this for certain, but can you..?
I will work through all of this like I always do
But it will require strength, and I would love a place where I could just be soft
I thought maybe I’d get to do that with you
That’s why I fucked you without armour
and came to you with no weapons
Big mistake..
Do I seem like a machine to you?
Like most people expect me to be like?
I guess I do, but just know that..
Tough girls suffer the most
The world will never catch us a break
Yeah, tough girls suffer the most..
And the world will never believe it
’Cuz we are tattooed from head to toe with invisible ink
and no one ever sees it
No one ever sees it
And I want to scream it to the whole wide world
But they would never believe it..
Tough girls suffer the most..
Yeah, tough girls suffer the most
