Jo Davidson - Fragile Tough Girl lyrics

rate me

Music and lyrics by Jo Davidson

When times are the worst you

see who you've got

you know what is real and you

find out what is not

I thought I had something

but now I hurt so bad

you think you have friends that you

don't really have. . . oh

I'm a fragile tough girl

break me if you can but

I'm a fragile tough girl

I'm a fragile tough girl

steady as a tree

I'm a fragile tough girl

and life is. . . messy

Everyone has a ladder

but at the top it's just another one

none of it will matter in the end

if you don't love someone

the wounds that hurt the most

are the wounds you cannot see

I thought for sure when I needed you

you'd be here for me

chorus repeat

well you thought you were so wise to tell me

I'd grow from all the pain

and yet you were never here for me

even when I called your name

I can take a slap like the best of them

but when it hurts too much to feel

I just dress my heart up in these bandages of steel

oh i'm a fragile tough girl

break me if you can but

i'm a fragile tough girl

i'm a fragile tough girl

steady as a tree

I'm a fragile tough girl

so don't mess with me

don't mess with me

cause I'm a fragile tough girl oh

i'm a fragile tough girl

steady as a tree

i'm a fragile tough girl

and life is messy.
