Music and lyrics by jo davidson
When times are the worst you
See who youve 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
Dont really have. . . oh
Im a fragile tough girl
Break me if you can but
Im a fragile tough girl
Im a fragile tough girl
Steady as a tree
Im a fragile tough girl
And life is. . . messy
Everyone has a ladder
But at the top its just another one
None of it will matter in the end
If you dont love someone
The wounds that hurt the most
Are the wounds you cannot see
I thought for sure when I needed you
Youd be here for me
Chorus repeat
Well you thought you were so wise to tell me
Id 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 Im a fragile tough girl
Break me if you can but
Im a fragile tough girl
Im a fragile tough girl
Steady as a tree
Im a fragile tough girl
So dont mess with me
Dont mess with me
Cause Im a fragile tough girl oh
Im a fragile tough girl
Steady as a tree
Im a fragile tough girl
And life is messy.
