Tough Boy
Carlie Hanson Lyrics

I'm a hot boy, on the block boy
I am a confident and attractive individual, standing out among others.

Standin' in the mirror
Looking at my reflection, examining myself.

All lies, I see all lies
I can see through the deception and falsehoods around me.

I can't even feel
I am emotionally numb and disconnected.

Tough boy, guard is up, boy
I portray a tough exterior, always on guard to protect myself.

Runnin' from the mirror
Avoiding self-confrontation and facing my true feelings.

I can't shed a tear
I am unable to show vulnerability or express my emotions.

I can't feel a thing if I wanted to
I have become desensitized and incapable of experiencing emotions, even if I try.

I could fuck you up if I wanted to
I have the power and ability to cause harm or hurt others if I choose to.

Middle finger up to the fuckin' moon
I am defiant and rebellious, showing disregard for societal expectations and norms.

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Expressing affirmation and confidence in myself.

In the summer, I was up all night
During the summer season, I would stay awake throughout the night.

Runnin' from all the tears I cry
Avoiding confronting and acknowledging the sadness and tears within me.

Bags under both of my eyes, why, why
Having visible signs of exhaustion and fatigue, questioning the reasons behind it.

Ain't no hurt like the hurt I feel
The pain and anguish I experience is unparalleled and incomparable.

Someone tell me what's fake and real
I seek guidance and clarity in distinguishing between genuine and false aspects of life.

Someone tell me I'm up the hill
I long for reassurance and affirmation that I am on the right path and making progress.

Someone tell me ain't no down from here
I hope to hear that there are no more obstacles or setbacks awaiting me.

It's okay, it's all fine
Assuring myself that everything is alright, despite the challenges I face.

I can see in the dark, this little lighter bright
I possess inner strength and resilience even in the toughest situations.

I walk on fire
I fearlessly confront danger and take risks in pursuit of my goals.

I don't need nothin' but this little light of mine
I rely solely on my own inner light and strength, not needing external validation or support.

I lose
I often experience defeat or failure in various aspects of life.

Every little thing I don't do, don't do
I blame myself for every missed opportunity or action not taken.

It's loose
I feel like I am unraveling or falling apart.

I just wanna fit in these shoes, these shoes
I desire to find my place and be accepted in this world, no matter how challenging it may seem.
