You don’t have to be a martyr
I already know that you’re strong
You don’t have to stand unguarded
In the eye of the storm
You don’t have to send a message
Cause there’s nothing to prove
Nothing to hide
Nothing to lose

Everybody’s got their limits
There’s only so much you can take
You can dam it up inside you
But one day it’s gonna break
When the water overwhelms you
And you’ve lost the strength to swim
You don’t have to be a hero
And keep it all in

You can weep like a baby
You can sink like a stone
You can break and go crazy
Alright here in my arms
You’re alright here in my arms

Ever since you were a child
You had a picture in your dreams
Of how you wanted things to turn out
Of what you’d like your life to be
Now you’re living with an image
That you hardly recognize
You don’t have to gloss it over
Like everything’s fine

You can weep like a baby
You can sink like a stone
You can break and go crazy
Alright here in my arms
You’re alright here in my arms
