Verse 1)
I been the one they lean on
Even when my strength gone
Smile like it’s all cool
But that shit don’t last long
You don’t see the nights I break down
Face dry, but my chest drown
Say I got it handled
I don’t even know now
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
If I’m honest, I’m runnin’ on empty
Still givin’ love when it’s drainin’ me
⸻
(Chorus)
I’m so tired of holdin’ it all
Actin’ like I’ll never fall
I keep pourin’ till there’s nothin’ left
Now I’m losin’ myself
They only call when they need me strong
But I been weak for way too long
If I let go, would you stay with me?
Or disappear when I can’t breathe
⸻
(Verse 2)
I was the glue, now I’m crackin’
All this weight, I been stackin’
Tryna break what we grew in
Now they say I been actin’
Turn pain into protection
Learned love got conditions
Now I move with a question
Every time I give affection
⸻
(Bridge – soft, emotional switch)
Maybe I don’t gotta save everybody
Maybe I could just save me
If I stop bein’ who they needed
Would they still believe in me?
⸻
(Final Chorus – airy, vulnerable)
I’m so tired of holdin’ it all
I don’t even feel like myself at all
If I break, let me break in peace
I just need release
They see strength when they look at me
But that’s not all I’m supposed to be
If I’m honest, I can’t keep leadin’
When I’m the one still bleedin’
