Be Strong

if I lose control
I will forfeit it all
and I never want to feel that way again

all the curtains are drawn
as the observers urge me on
just waiting for me to make my move

be strong, hold on
it won't be long
I know you can move on
but what if I'm not strong
and I can't move on
oh when will I belong

so I waiver on
try to keep myself calm
as I battle all the things that pull (hold) me down

if I give in now
I will prove all of their doubt
but I'm certain that this enemy
will do (pull) me in
(will pull me in again in time)

be strong, hold on
it won't be long
I know you can move on
but what if I'm not strong
and I can't go on
oh when will this be done (gone)

I make my way
on dead ends I've paved
I wander past all the paths away
and I stagger along
(I stall)
try to force myself on
(try not to break)
but there is so much more, I know, that can be done
(I crawl)

be strong, hold on
(I make my way)
it won't be long
(on dead ends I've paved)
I know you can move on
(I hold it back, I stall)
but what if I'm not strong
(and I stagger along)
and I can't move on
(try to force myself on)
oh where did I go wrong
(but there is so much more, I know, that can be done)

be strong, hold on
(I make my way)
(if I hold on)
it won't be long
(on dead ends I've paved)
(I won't belong)
I know you can move on
(I never give my all)
(oh no, I can't move on)
but what if I move on
(and I stagger along)
and I can't hold on
(try to force myself on)
(and I don't belong)
oh when will I be strong
(oh why can't I be strong)
