About

I wrote this song because I got a reading from a tarot reader and she literally couldn't believe her eyes all the bad cards were flipped up right and all the good cards were flipped upside down step one and that was the sun card she said that out of all the readings that she did in her lifetime she's never seen anybody suffered so much that I have go through so much pain but stay strong and break but still be strong she said anyone else would have broke by so she told me that I suffered a lot of pain but I am damn strong to get the hell out of hell so I wrote this song

Lyrics

Verse 1

I don't talk about the years I lost

The cards all flipped upside down

She looked at me and her hands went cold

Said she never seen a soul so worn

Every reading that she ever gave

Never met a girl who walked through hell

Then walked through hell again

Pre-Chorus

Strong she called me

Strong through the ruin

Strong like the only card that stood

Chorus

How can a girl suffer so much

How can a girl carry so much

I was torn down piece by piece

And still I breathe

How can a girl suffer so much

How can a girl bury so much

One sun upright in a sea of dark

And still I bleed

Post-Chorus

(Ooh, still I breathe)

(Ooh, still I bleed)

Verse 2

19 and too afraid to leave

Bruises hidden under long sleeves

I stayed for one small hand in mine

She needed a father I never had

So I swallowed every silent night

Kept my scars where no one finds them

Signed my rights away at twenty four

Gave my baby to a stranger's door

Pre-Chorus

Strong they call me

Strong while I shatter

Strong like glass on a kitchen floor

Chorus

How can a girl suffer so much

How can a girl carry so much

I was torn down piece by piece

And still I breathe

How can a girl suffer so much

How can a girl bury so much

One sun upright in a sea of dark

And still I bleed

Bridge

What did I do in a life before

To deserve the soul ripped from my chest

Heart like glass crushed underfoot

Stabbed a thousand times and no one heard me scream

No one heard me scream

Chorus

How can a girl suffer so much

How can a girl carry so much

I was torn down piece by piece

And still I breathe

How can a girl suffer so much

How can a girl bury so much

One sun upright in a sea of dark

And still I bleed

Post-Chorus

(Still I breathe)

(Still I bleed)

(Still I rise)

(Still I rise)
