don’t you know
a girl can get tired
and she’ll empty herself
and smile when she needs to
and go inside a room
and cry her eyes out over you
she’s just looking for a place
that’s safe enough to trust
friends who mean what they say
that hold loyalty close to their chest
don’t you know
a girl gets tired
of looking and choosing
and it turning out wrong
and working on herself
so she can build up her confidence
while everything keeps trying to prove the opposite
everywhere she looks there seems to be evidence
so she steps back for perspective
and to see with fresh eyes
she’s not alone,
God knows,
how hard she tries
but sometimes
sometimes
she’s tired of being strong
