You know us big girls don't cry

I don't need your comforting lullaby 

Because I'm strong like you always said I was.

I can break my bones and I won't make a sound 

I won't say those words, I'll just choke them back down.

I'm the one who won't ever make a fuss.

I stretched my bootstraps far as they'll go,

But if they break, you'll never know.

I'm more fragile than you would ever think 

I keep drifting away a little bit more

Lock the best parts of me behind an iron door.

But I can still keep living past the brink.

Because us big girls do cry

Alone I sing myself a sad lullaby 

I'm not strong, I'm just trying to get by

But the world just won't believe 

Just how broken we can really be.

Cause y'all know, big girls don't cry.
