Lyrics

When I was a young girl
I was as strong as a rock
Tougher than nails
And cooler than the ice in your soda pop
You could say anything
Do whatever you want
I?d never break down
Those walls that I worked so hard to build
Well they?re tumblin? down, tumblin? down

I ain?t too tough to cry
And the tears well they fall like dominos
You know I?d rather die than to let it show
Cuz then you?d know
I ain?t too tough to cry

I thought I knew about hurtin?
Thought I knew all about shame
But lately it?s come to my attention
Ain?t nothin? ever gonna be the same
I?m seein? colors for the first time
I didn?t even know I could find
And I?m feelin? pain even when I?m doin? fine
And I know that it?s wrong but I made up my mind

I ain?t too tough to cry
And the tears well they fall like dominos
You know I?d rather die than to let it show
Cuz then you?d know
I ain?t too tough to cry

I spend all of my time fighting these demons
I?ve got no chance at all to win
I?m killin? myself for no reason
And I?m sick of this fight so I?m givin? in

I ain?t too tough to cry
And the tears well they fall like dominos
You know I?d rather die than to let it show
Cuz then you?d know
I ain?t too tough to cry
