Lyrics

Verse

Who’s that shadow in the corner of our frame

Pulling strings we never see, calling every name

Mama’s smile got heavy, daddy’s voice turned low

Somebody’s hand is moving things we didn’t know

Pre-chorus

I feel the weight, feel the weight, pressing on the door

Can’t see the face but I know it’s watching more

Chorus

Who’s the one, who’s the one, holding all the strings

Who’s the one, who’s the one, turning joy to sting

I just wanna feel my family breathe again

Tell me who’s the one, who’s the one, pulling all the strings

Verse

Late-night whispers through the walls, numbers on a screen

Every laugh we try to keep gets caught between

We dance slow to the same old song, hoping it won’t break

But somebody’s writing endings we didn’t make

Pre-chorus

I feel the weight, feel the weight, pressing on the door

Can’t see the face but I know it’s watching more

Chorus

Who’s the one, who’s the one, holding all the strings

Who’s the one, who’s the one, turning joy to sting

I just wanna feel my family breathe again

Tell me who’s the one, who’s the one, pulling all the strings

Chorus

Who’s the one, who’s the one, holding all the strings

Who’s the one, who’s the one, turning joy to sting

I just wanna feel my family breathe again

Tell me who’s the one, who’s the one, pulling all the strings
