Can’t Hold Me Together

Verse 1

I swear I try to keep it steady

Tell myself I’m alright

But the cracks keep getting wider

Every lonely night

I smile when they ask how I’m doing

Say I’m holding my ground

But I’m one breath away from breaking

When your name comes around

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been fighting these feelings

Like they don’t own my soul

But the truth keeps screaming

And I’m losing control

Chorus

I’m falling apart, I can’t stop it

My hands are shaking, my heart won’t listen

I said I was strong, but I’m not it

I’m barely breathing, I’m missing you different

I try to stay calm, but I can’t pretend

I’m fine without you, I never been

I’m screaming inside, don’t know what to do

Every time I lose control over you

Verse

Your voice still lives in the silence

Every word hits me hard

I replay all the moments

Like a wound I can’t guard

I tried drowning you out with the noise

With the lights, with the crowd

But the louder the world keeps getting

The more I break down

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been lying to mirrors

Saying “you’ll be okay”

But my chest keeps caving

Every time you walk away

I’m falling apart, I can’t stop it

My hands are shaking, my heart won’t listen

I said I was strong, but I’m not it

I’m barely breathing, I’m missing you different

I try to stay calm, but I can’t pretend

I’m fine without you, I never been

I’m screaming inside, don’t know what to do

Every time I lose control over you

Bridge (Strip it down – voice + piano)

If love’s a drug, I’m overdosing

If letting go’s the cure, I’m broken

I don’t know how to save myself

When losing you feels like losing myself

I’m falling apart, can’t you see it?

I tried to hide it, but I mean it

I gave you all of me, every piece

Now I’m empty, on my knees

I try to stay calm, but I can’t pretend

I’m fine without you, I never been

I’m screaming inside, don’t know what to do

Every time I lose control…

Every time I lose control…

Every time I lose control over you
