The Brilliant Inventions - You Don't Have To Be Strong lyrics

The sun comes up on Central Park You are lying in the dark New York holds you like a baby In her arms Friday night did you in Côtes du Rhône and Vicodin A purple stain upon your skin And you're alone You're tired of Holding up More than your half of the world Girl... You don't have to be strong When you're with me You don't have to be strong When you're with me I saw your form in silhouette Cereal and cigarettes And your apartment candlelit Where shadows paint the walls Where strangers hang In picture frames Sullen faces with no names You want to go to where they came from If you could It's hard to talk About your pain Always the one holding the reins But things change... And you don't have to be strong When you're with me You don't have to be strong When you're with me You don't have to be strong When you're with me You don't have to be... Just lay your head Down on my chest It's OK if you're broken Like me You don't have to be strong When you're with me You don't have to be strong When you're with me You don't have to be strong When you're with me You don't have to be... To be... To be... When you're with me
