Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I fold the napkins right
I smile on cue at dinner
I learn the safe reply
So you can call it "better"
The photo on the shelf
Looks almost like a promise
But I can feel myself
Getting smaller in the polish
[Pre-Chorus]
You want a perfect frame
A house that never shakes
I wear it like a name
But it starts to ache
[Chorus]
Inside this bubble
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
Inside this bubble
I'm not who you need
I keep it pretty
I keep it held tight
But I'm getting tired
Of this whole life
Inside this bubble
How long can I hold it? (hold it)
[Verse 2]
I fix the corner's light
I laugh when I should flinch
I make the hard parts mild
So nobody sees the glitch
You love the version of me
That never leaves a crack
But every time I bend
Something in me bends back
[Pre-Chorus]
You say "this is the way"
Like I was born to stay
But every locked-in day
Pushes me away
[Chorus]
Inside this bubble
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
Inside this bubble
I'm not who you need
I keep it pretty
I keep it held tight
But I'm getting tired
Of this whole life
Inside this bubble
How long can I hold it? (hold it)
[Bridge]
What if perfect is a cage?
What if good is just a face?
I don't want to play
Your little parade
I want my own hands
My own mess, my own plans
I want to stand up
Even if I can't
[Final Chorus]
Inside this bubble
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
Inside this bubble
I'm not who you need
I keep it pretty
I keep it held tight
But I'm getting tired
Of this whole life
Inside this bubble
How long can I hold it? (hold it)
Inside this bubble
I'm letting it crack tonight
