Strength I Could Only Hope For

[~*Sara*~]

I've been told
I play the role
Of strength very well
But the truth is
It's mostly an act so
Here are the facts:

(Chorus)
I cry at the movies but nobody sees
I always get scared so I give teddy a squeeze
I'm upset by the yelling so I run up and hide
And when I stand there and take it
It's for my own sick pride
And you know I really hate it
When a guy comes and goes
But I decide to keep it all
on the down-low

So now I suppose
That my concscience is clear
But there are so many people
That think I have no fear

What about the spiders,
The failures, the phone?
What about the killers,
The dark, being alone?
You may still believe
That I'm soldier strong
But here are some points
That'll prove you wrong:

(Chorus)

And now you know that
That's the real me
The show is over
Exit carefully
My role has been played
And now it's no more
So go and find
The strength I could
Only hope for
