Momma Once Said


My momma once said big girls don't cry We just suck it up And smile through the night My momma once said Girl don't be weak You'll never survive And you'll fall to your knees And ever since then I've tried to be strong I never backed down and I've walked on my own But every now and then a get this feeling And every now and then this thought Am I strong enough for this Am I strong enough to hurt again Can I carry this weight on my shoulders Can I carry these tears in my eyes Sometimes I wanna fall down on my knees Sometimes I just wanna give up and cry ButI think back to what my momma said And keep praying to get by
