[Verse 1]
I learned the house by its silence
By the plate left half full
Mom got tears in the hallway
Dad got pride like a wall
I kept my face in the mirror
So they wouldn't see it break
Counted my breaths in the bedroom
Just to make it through the day
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep sayin' I'm fine
With a knot in my chest
I keep holdin' the line
Like it's all I got left
If I say it out loud
Will it cut like a knife?
I'm tired of the war
I'm tired of the fight
[Chorus]
Broken table, broken table
We all eat off the same pain
Broken table, broken table
Try to love through the rain
Hold me down, don't let go
I can't carry this alone
Broken table, broken table
But I still call it home (home)
[Verse 2]
Little brother asks why I go quiet
When the room gets too loud
I laugh like it's nothing
Then I stare at the ground
Every old word still echoes
In the walls and the hall
All the things we don't say
Got a grip on us all
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep sayin' I'm fine
With a knot in my chest
I keep holdin' the line
Like it's all I got left
If I say it out loud
Will it cut like a knife?
I'm tired of the war
I'm tired of the fight
[Chorus]
Broken table, broken table
We all eat off the same pain
Broken table, broken table
Try to love through the rain
Hold me down, don't let go
I can't carry this alone
Broken table, broken table
But I still call it home (home)
[Bridge]
Maybe we don't know how
Maybe we never learned
How to stay in the fire
Without getting burned
So I made a small light
In the room where we fall
If we can't fix forever
Let us not lose it all
[Final Chorus]
Broken table, broken table
We all eat off the same pain
Broken table, broken table
Try to love through the rain
Hold me down, don't let go
I can't carry this alone
Broken table, broken table
But I still call it home (home)
