[Verse 1]
I don't wanna be strong tonight
Don't wanna hear it will be okay
Don't wanna look on the bright side
Don't wanna learn from my mistakes
Don't wanna cheer up
Don't feel like smiling
To hell with looking for
That silver lining

[Chorus]
I just wanna have a breakdown
I just wanna let my heart ache
Fall apart and get it all out
Leave proof of the pain
Tear stained on my pillowcase
I don't wanna be strong tonight
I don't wanna be strong tonight

[Verse 2]
I'm tired of keeping it together
I'm tired of holding everything inside
I'm gonna hurt to feel better
And try my best, not to apologize
Call me a hot mess
Yeah if you want to
Call me a basket case
I know you're going to

[Chorus]
I just wanna have a breakdown
I just wanna let my heart ache
Fall apart and get it all out
Leave proof of the pain
Tear stained on my pillowcase
I don't wanna be strong tonight
I don't wanna be strong tonight

[Bridge]
Don't wanna cheer up
Don't feel like smiling
To hell with looking for that silver lining

[Chorus]
I just wanna have a breakdown
I just wanna let my heart ache
Fall apart and get it all out
Leave proof of the pain
Tear stained on my pillowcase
I don't wanna be strong tonight
I don't wanna be strong tonight
