Crying On The Staircase

I don’t wanna be remembered as the weak girl.
I don’t wanna be the girl who used to cry herself asleep.
And I don’t want to be the girl you always lose faith in.

I want you to count on me.
Trust in me,
Even when I’m not that strong.

Cause I don’t want to be that girl,
The one you always see crying on the staircase.

I don’t want to be so fragile.
I’m not a piece of glass.
You can’t break me that easily.

Even though they tried too.

Cause I’ll never be that girl again.
The one who used to let people walk all over her.

They said I’d never make it.
That I’d never be worth anything.
Ha! I proved them all wrong.

I don’t cry on the staircase anymore.
Always holding back the tears,
Because I refuse to let them break me again.

Cause I don’t wanna be that girl,
The one who used to be afraid.
People don’t scare me anymore.

Cause I don’t want to be to be that girl again,
The one with all the scars on her wrist.

They said they’d break me,
Said I’d never feel ok again.
But they were wrong.

I’m ok.

Cause I’ll never be that girl again,
Crying on the staircase,
Wishing it’d all just end.

I’m not that girl anymore.
You didn’t break me.

Cause I refuse to be that girl again.
I’m letting the scars fade away,
Cause I don’t need them anymore.

They didn’t break me!
I promise I’m not that girl anymore.

Cause I don’t wanna be that girl,
Crying on the staircase,
Once again.
