Shaky hands and brittle bones
Dressing up before the show
The sequins of my dress are on the floor
I know that you won't break so soon
Strength is hiding in the roots
I'm trying to find that too
If only you knew I'm holding on to you
Cause I've never learned to bend like you do
If only you knew how much I look up to you
Always true... my little bamboo
Firm and solid safe and sound
Standing steadily on the ground
But if I fall I won't bounce back
I know that I will break someday
Strength is something I portray
I will never show my cracks
Shaky hands and brittle bones
Dressing up before the show
Dressing up before the show
The sequins of my dress are on the floor
I know that you won't break so soon
Strength is hiding in the roots
I'm trying to find that too
If only you knew I'm holding on to you

If only you knew how much I look up to you
Always true... my little bamboo
Firm and solid safe and sound
Standing steadily on the ground
But if I fall I won't bounce back
I know that I will break someday
Strength is something I portray
I will never show my cracks
Shaky hands and brittle bones
