Jo Davidson Fragile Tough Girl lyrics

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

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

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
