Testo: Jo Davidson. Other. Fragile Tough Girl.

When times are the worst you
see who you've 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
don't really have. . . oh

I'm a fragile tough girl
break me if you can but
I'm a fragile tough girl

I'm a fragile tough girl
steady as a tree
I'm a fragile tough girl
and life is. . . messy

Everyone has a ladder
but at the top it's just another one
none of it will matter in the end
if you don't love someone

the wounds that hurt the most
are the wounds you cannot see
I thought for sure when I needed you
you'd be here for me

chorus repeat

well you thought you were so wise to tell me
I'd 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 i'm a fragile tough girl
break me if you can but
i'm a fragile tough girl

i'm a fragile tough girl
steady as a tree
I'm a fragile tough girl
so don't mess with me
don't mess with me

cause I'm a fragile tough girl oh
i'm a fragile tough girl
steady as a tree
i'm a fragile tough girl
and life is messy
