a lion's heart
in a dainty ribcage
roaring against your chest
it almost can't take it

you're an enigma
but you play it well
noone knows your strength
until they witness it's hell

why do bad things have to happen
for all these thousands
millions billions trillions
to recognise you?

you're an ant
carrying a pressure twice your height
and when your world tumbles apart
you're the only one fleeing from the night

every fiber of your being
is drenched in sweat
you work harder than anyone
i don't understand?
"what you deserve is what you get?"

baby girl, oh you're so strong
right as i thought you were giving up
instantly, you proved me wrong
and i'm left starstruck
no, please don't worry about me
no, please just for once let it be
and press play on your own movie

all this time
baby girl, oh, people thought
baby girl, oh, people assumed
you, oh, you are stronger than you think.
