Verse 1
They Called Me DmStrong When I Needed A A#Hug
Said You'll Be FFine When I'd Had ECnough
So I Wiped My Own DmTears And Said "Yeah, That's A#Right"
Then I Cried Myself To FSleep Alone At ANight
I Learned If You DmSmile They'll Leave You AA#lone
If You Say "You're FGood" They Don't Ask For CMore
So I Made It Look DmEasy, I Covered It A#Up
Nobody FKnew I Was Hurting That AMuch

Pre-Chorus
I Didn't Need A#Answers, I DCidn't Need MDmuch
I Didn't Need GmFixing, I Just Needed ALove

Chorus
I Didn't Want To Be DmStrong, I Just Needed A GmHug
Didn't Need You To CFix Me Or Clean This All FUp
I F/ENeeded SomeA#body To Tell Me It's FGmine
To Not Have It ToAgether All Of The ATime
I Needed SomeDmbody To See Through My GmSmile,
To Tell Me It's OCkay To Break For A FWhile
I F/EDidn't Need A#Saving, I've Been Through EnGmough
I Didn't Want To Be AStrong

I Know What To CSay, I Know Where To FStart
I F/EPick Up The A#Pieces, I Stay On The PGmhone
They Hang Up On AMe And I Handle My AOwn
And They Still Say "You're DmStrong"
Like It's Something I GmChose
Like I Never Get CTired, Like I Never Get FLow
But The F/EStronger I A#Look, The Less They Show UGmp
Funny How AStrong Never Gets You ALoved
