Don't tell me

Don't say that I can't

Handle what's on my sholders

Just came by to say hello

Don't say that it's over

That I'm easily done

No, I ain't done

.

I'm not asking for help, I do

Quite well on my own

I'm not asking for anything, I just

Need to see your face

.

Don't tell me I'm weak

I'm never gonna make it

I'm stronger than you know

I'm not here to fight

Just need to hold your hand

Hold me tight, mom

.

I'm not asking for you

To understand my life

But I could use your love

Is that too hard to give?

.

And maybe it never gets easier

But I am a fighter, you know

And I may be cold out here

But I keep your eyes on my mind

To warm me at night

To help me pass through the day

.

And I'm not saying I'm sorry

Sorry mom, but I'm not gonna lie

I'm not gonna hide

But please don't tell me I'm not your daugher

Not anymore, mama take me

Don't be ashamed of me

.

And maybe it never gets easier

But I am a fighter, you know

And I may be cold out here

But I keep your eyes on my mind

To warm me at night

To help me pass through the day
