I don't need to be the strong one
I don't need to hold it tight
I've been carrying the weight
Every single night

I've been standing tall for too long
Smiling through what I feel
I don't need you to fix me
Just let this be real

I don't need the answers now
I don't need the perfect plan

I just need a moment
Where I don't have to pretend

Let me be weak tonight
Let me lay it all down
I don't need to be alright
I just need you around
If I fall, don't pull away
Just stay close while I break
Let me be weak tonight
I'll be stronger someday

I know strength isn't silence
I'm learning that now
Some truths only heal
When you say them out loud

I don't wanna hide behind walls
I don't wanna stand alone
If love is a place to rest
Let this be home

I don't need a shield tonight
I don't need to fight again

Sometimes strength is trusting
Someone else to hold your hand

Let me be weak tonight
Let me lay it all down
I don't need to be alright
I just need you around
If I fall, don't pull away
Just stay close while I break
Let me be weak tonight
I'll be stronger someday

I won't stay here forever
I just need this moment

Let me be weak tonight
I'm learning how to breathe
I don't need to hide inside
Just stay here next to me
If this is how I heal
Then let it start this way
Let me be weak tonight
So I can rise again
