Nails Are Tougher Than Me --- Song Lyric
Verse 1:
I was brought up
to think like a soldier,
to guard every emotion
in a tight metal cage
I learned how to shut down
and suck it all in
but no one ever taught me
how to live with my rage
Chorus:
I once thought
I was tougher than nails
and my heart was as hard
as heat hardened steel rails
but now I've been hammered by life
I can see
nails are tougher,
nails are tougher than me.
Verse 2:
It's taken so long
to accept that I'm human;
to feel what I'm feelin',
and not act like a clown.
Back then I was broken
now I'm broken open;
when our daughter came to us
my heart melted down
Bridge:
Indifference isn't a virtue,
choose coldness and it's you who will lose,
I learned this lesson the hard way
now it's yours to use or misuse.
Repeat Chorus:
