You've Been Strong Long Enough
Lyrics:
You’ve been holding it together
For everyone but you
Smiling through the heavy days
Like you always have to do
But you don’t have to hide tonight
You don’t have to be so tough
Come lay down all the weight you carry
You’ve been strong long enough
You’re the one they always call
When everything begins to fall
You find the words, you make it right
Even when you’re tired inside
You keep showing up with love
Even when your heart has had enough
You say you’re fine, you push on through
But who’s been taking care of you?
You don’t have to earn your rest
You don’t have to prove your best
You can breathe, you can let go
You don’t have to carry it alone
You’ve been strong long enough
You can put the pieces down
You don’t have to save the world
You can rest your heart right now
Let the tears come if they need to
Let yourself be held with love
You have carried so much for so long
You’ve been strong long enough
Maybe no one ever told you
That your needs still matter too
That you’re worthy of the kindness
You keep giving everyone but you
You can cancel all the pressure
You can soften for a while
You don’t owe the world perfection
You don’t always have to smile
You don’t have to earn your peace
You’re allowed to just release
Take a breath and let it be
You deserve the same love that you give so freely
You’ve been strong long enough
You can put the pieces down
You don’t have to save the world
You can rest your heart right now
Let the tears come if they need to
Let yourself be held with love
You have carried so much for so long
You’ve been strong long enough
Take off the armor
You’re safe here tonight
You don’t need an answer
You don’t need to make it right
Rest your tired shoulders
Let somebody care for you
Being strong doesn’t mean
You have to keep breaking through
You can stop
You can breathe
You can finally receive
All the comfort, all the patience
You give so easily
You’ve been strong long enough
You can lay your worries down
You don’t have to hold it all
You can choose yourself right now
Let your heart become a little lighter
Let the quiet fill you up
You have given all you could for so long
You’ve been strong long enough
You’ve been strong long enough
Now it’s time to give yourself some love
So breathe
Just breathe
Nothing needs you for this moment
Rest now
Let go
You’ve been strong long enough
