[Verse 1]
They say I’m a queen
But they still call my phone at midnight
Asking what they should do
Like I hold the weather in my hands
I make all the plans
Smile in the photos
Sign off on the damage
Hold the door
Hold my breath
Hold this house up on my back
[Pre-Chorus]
Who tucks the leader in?
Who lets her fall apart?
I’m tired of being brave
With a shaking heart
[Chorus]
Crown gets heavy
When you’re holding up the sky for everyone
Strong gets scary
When nobody ever lets you come undone
I’m so tired of saving every scene
Who carries the queen?
Who carries the queen?
[Verse 2]
I pour all the drinks
Wipe all the tears off other people’s faces
Talk them off their ledges
Walk myself home in the dark
I’m the first to forgive
Last one to say that I’m not okay
Bite my tongue
Bite my nails
Till they finally look like how I feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Who tucks the leader in?
Who says
“You’ve done enough”?
I’m tired of being steel
When I just want soft
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Take this halo off my head
Lay it on the nightstand
Let me be a mess in your arms
Not a statute
Not a martyr
Just human
[low vocal register] Just human
[Chorus]
