Lyrics

Verse

I laugh so they don’t see the cracks

Hold the walls when they collapse

Every secret, every tear they hide

I keep it locked somewhere inside

Pre-chorus

They don’t know the weight I bear

Always strong, I’m always there

Chorus

I’m the one who holds the weight of the room

Smile so bright, but it’s hiding the gloom

They lean on me, but I’m breaking too

Who will carry me, when I can’t pull through?

Verse

I’m the glue when they all fight

The quiet voice that makes it right

But no one asks if I’m okay

They just take, and I just stay

Bridge

I’m tired of being the strong one

Of holding up the sun

When my own sky is falling

And no one hears me calling

Chorus

I’m the one who holds the weight of the room

Smile so bright, but it’s hiding the gloom

They lean on me, but I’m breaking too

Who will carry me… when I can’t pull through?
