Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I made my bed with the ache
Folded it neat by the door
Kept on saying, "I'm fine"
While my knees hit the floor
Small pills in a jar
Big weight in my chest
I learned how to smile
And still feel the rest
[Pre-Chorus]
I got good at the mask
Good at the nod
Good at pretending
It wasn't that hard
But the mirror kept asking
Why do you stay?
And I had no answer
Only the day
[Chorus]
I've been fighting this too long
Too long, too long
I've been singing the same sad song
All night long
If you hear me slipping
Pull me back, don't let me go
I've been fighting this too long
Too long to hold alone
[Verse 2]
Some days I don't call back
Some days I don't eat
Some days I just sit there
Counting the beat of my heartbeat
The curtains don't help
The glass doesn't care
The room keeps its shape
When I'm not even there
[Pre-Chorus]
I got good at the mask
Good at the nod
Good at pretending
It wasn't that hard
But the truth sits heavy
Right in my throat
And I'm tired of carrying
What I never chose
[Chorus]
I've been fighting this too long
Too long, too long
I've been singing the same sad song
All night long
If you hear me slipping
Pull me back, don't let me go
I've been fighting this too long
Too long to hold alone
[Bridge]
Maybe healing is slow
Maybe it crawls
Maybe I don't rise
I just don't fall
Maybe one more sunrise
Counts as a win
Maybe I can start
Where I am again
[Final Chorus]
I've been fighting this too long
Too long, too long
I've been singing the same sad song
All night long
If you hear me slipping
Pull me back, don't let me go
I've been fighting this too long
Too long to hold alone
I've been fighting this too long
Too long, too long
But I'm still here breathing
Still here now
