Strong at the Broken Places

When the knife sinks in & the scar wont fade Wounds on display like a walk of shame Faking my way, one day at a time I'll be fine. No reason to cry Cause I play my poker face Pain as my aces Making me strong at the broken places Walking on a dagger I won't stagger no It's making me strong Strong at the broken places Cuts as graces When each thought strikes like a hammer to the heart Feeling brittle and broke. There's no hope Fallin' apart. Ripping at the seams But long lost dreams aren't out of reach Cause I play my poker face Wounds as my aces Making me strong at the broken places Walking on a dagger I won't stagger no It's making me strong Strong at the broken places No more traces Wounds that kept me down can't break me down These stitches are my shield on the battlefield Pain will give me gain My soul will give me strength Cause all my shame is gone in flame So I play my poker face Pain as my aces Making me strong at the broken places Walking on a dagger But I won't stagger no It's making me strong Strong at the broken places Wounds as graces I play my poker face Pain as my aces Making me strong
