He treats me like I'm fragile
but I assure you I am not.
I'm stronger than what meets the eye
though a stirring soul of doubt.
He does not know the thoughts
that pound and scream throughout.
He doesn't know I saved myself
without any of his help.
I was strong before I met him,
why shouldn't I be now?
I'm trapped in my own thoughts
with no escape but this.
Don't treat me like I don't know
how to handle myself.
I know me better than you do.
Don't act like your keeping
my own secrets from me.
Don't act like you are saving me
because the truth is,
I don't need saving.
I'm stronger than you think.

Don't act like you are saving me
because the truth is,
I don't need saving.
I'm stronger than you think.
