Let down so easily
Not how it needs to be
Playing happy families
It's not like that

You don't have to try to please the others
You don't need to be the one to suffer
It's okay to cry and show what's under
Take care of yourself and show your colors

'Cause you don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together

Dark days in the shadows
You're so afraid of being alone
Who is standing in the mirror?
'Cause that's not you

You don't have to try to please the others
You don't need to be the one to suffer
It's okay to cry and show what's under
Take care of yourself and show your colors

'Cause you don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together

You don't have to try to please the others
Take all of the time in the world to recover
You should know you're more than just a mother
And I'm so proud to be your daughter
