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
