Fathers and sons, don't get taught how to love
Just keep your chin up, keep acting tough
Fathers and sons, don't learn how to cry
Oh, the anger glorified, the rest we learn to hide

Looking in the mirror, I do not recognize
The reflection of a self I've synthesized
The image I've projected, I've come to realize
Is a reflection of a self, I have denied

Could I be strong enough
To say when I've had enough
To carry on when I feel like giving up
Could I be strong enough
Strong enough to admit when I am wrong
Strong enough, to admit I need someone
Could I be strong enough

Mothers and daughters, don't get taught to love yourselves
When they say you're beautiful, is it ever enough
Mothers and daughters, learn not to speak up
For the sake of someone else, you learn to hide yourself

Looking in the mirror, I do not recognize
The reflection of a self I've synthesized
The image I've projected, I've come to realize
Is a reflection of a self, I have denied

Could I be strong enough
To say when I've had enough
To carry on when I feel like giving up
Could I be strong enough
Strong enough to admit when I am wrong
Strong enough, to admit I need someone
Could I be
Could I be strong enough

Could I be strong enough
To say when I've had enough
To carry on when I feel like giving up
Could I be strong enough
Strong enough to admit when I am wrong
Strong enough to admit I need someone

Could I be strong enough
To carry on when I feel like giving up
Could I be strong enough
Strong enough to admit I need someone
Oh, could I be strong enough
