Carry on

(Verse 1)
I’m walking through the shadows, got a heart full of cracks,
As the world keeps on spinning, I’m starting to fall off tracks.
Every step feels heavier, like I’m sinking ,
Trying to hold it together, but I’m breaking….
(Pre-Chorus)
They lean on my shoulders, they call me their light,
But who’s gonna catch me when I’m losing the fight?
(Chorus)
It’s hard to keep going when the fire’s burning low,
When the weight of their world is all I seem to know.
I’m everyone’s rock, but I’m crumbling inside,
Holding up their skies while my own tears apart.
Oh, it’s hard, so hard, to keep carrying the weight,
When I’m running on empty, and I’m bending from the strain.
(Verse 2)
I smile through the silence, put their fears in my hands,
But my own heart’s a desert, just a wasteland of sand.
They see me as steady, like I’m carved out of stone,
But the truth is I’m fragile, and I’m barely my own.
(Pre-Chorus)
They come with their burdens, and I take them in stride,
But who’s gonna hold me when I’m drowning inside?
(Chorus)
It’s hard to keep going when the fire’s burning low,
When the weight of their world is all I seem to know.
I’m everyone’s rock, but I’m crumbling inside,
Holding up their skies while my own falls apart. 
Oh, it’s hard, so hard, to keep carrying the weight,
When I’m running on empty, and I’m bending from the strain.
(Bridge)
I want to scream out, let the pieces all fall,
But I’m scared if I break, I’ll lose it all.
So I carry their stories, their pain, and their fight,
While I’m searching for something to get me through the night.
(Chorus)
It’s hard to keep going when the fire’s burning low,
When the weight of their world is all I seem to know.
I’m everyone’s rock, but I’m crumbling inside,
Holding up their skies while my own falls apart 
Oh, it’s hard, so hard, to keep carrying the weight,
When I’m running on empty, and I’m bending from the strain.
(Outro)
But maybe there’s a spark, buried deep in my soul,
A whisper of strength that won’t let me let go.
I’ll find my own anchor, I’ll learn to be kind,
To the heart that’s been breaking while I’m saving mankind.
Oh, it’s hard, so hard, but I’ll carry on somehow,
For the rock that I am, I’ll be my own rock now.
