I Break Down

I Break Down
I try to go on, I try to be strong
I try to be the one to stand tall
I try to impress you, try to make you think
Nothing can hurt me, I can take it all
When the sky turns grey and the clouds bring thunder
I hold up a shelter for you to hide under
When the rain begins to fall and my shelter hits the ground
Then I'm the one

I break down
They say in the world to make it
You've got to be strong
Day after day gets harder
To hold on
But sometimes I get sad
And my smiles turn to frowns, then it's my turn
I break down
To break down
When you reach out and cry to me
I hold on, internally
But sometimes I get sad
And my smiles turn to frowns, then I'm the one
I break down
