Jo davidson fragile tough girl lyrics

Music and lyrics by Jo Davidson 



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 



chorus repeat 



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.
