Can't blame the Apple, that's the battle that I fight
I found peace outside of Asheville, but from Nashville, that's a drive
Then I told you things that made you see me in a different light
Oh, my heart knows I'm redeemed, but my self-esteem still can't decide

When my world seems to go wrong
It's my tell when I show you I'm strong (oh)

But the truth is, I'm weak
A handful of pieces
I fought on my knees
Don't make me feel safe if you're not plannin' to stay
When my strength runs dry
I pray you'll be standing by my side

I try to mask the person that I keep inside
As I stare up at the ceilin', there's a feelin' I can't deny
Oh, this strength is not my string suit, but with you, I feel alright
I've been lettin' down my guard, and I know it's hard, but it's worth the fight

When my world seems to go wrong
It's my tell when I show you I'm strong (oh)

But the truth is, I'm weak
A handful of pieces
I fought on my knees
Don't make me feel safe if you're not plannin' to stay
When my strength runs dry
I pray you'll be standing by my side
