You wear a smile like battle paint
Keep your pain behind the chainmail plates
But I've seen cracks beneath the steel
I know exactly how it feels
You lift the weight for everyone
But no one asks what you've become
You're the last to leave, the first to bleed
But who will come when you have need?
You're not made of stone, I know the truth
Even heroes get hurt too
You hide your scars behind the fight
But they still burn in dead of night
The world won't see the war in you
But I do, I always knew
You're breaking slow, but standing tall
You fight through silence, through it all
Some battles no one ever knew
Some heroes get hurt too
They call you brave, they call you strong
But courage hurts when it lasts this long
Your armor's cracked, your hands still shake
But you keep going for our sake
You laugh it off, you take the lead
But inside you're the one who bleeds
You hold the line with trembling hands
Still fighting what they'll never understand
You're not made of stone, I know the truth
Even heroes get hurt too
You hide your scars behind the fight
But they still burn in dead of night
The world won't see the war in you
But I do, I always knew
You're breaking slow, but standing tall
You fight through silence, through it all
Some battles no one ever knew
Some heroes get hurt too
You hide your scars behind the fight
But they still burn in dead of night
The world won't see the war in you
But I do, I always knew
You're breaking slow, but standing tall
You fight through silence, through it all
Some battles no one ever knew
Some heroes get hurt too
