[Verse 1 ]
There’s a war in my chest when the morning comes
Breathing feelin like I’m under a ton
Every mirror echoes full of lies
“Who do you think you are?” staring back from my eyes
Every road that I take feels wrong
Every job just a place I don’t belong
I smile like I’ve got it in hand
While I’m sinking like I’m in quicksand
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m a ghost in my own skin
Trying hard just to fit in
[Chorus]
When the highs get high, I’m touching the light
Like I finally got something right
But when the lows drop down, it’s a free fall fast
Like the air disappears, every breathe like my last
Half of me is barely holding on
Half of me is already gone
But right there in the breaking moment
There’s a steady heart that’s been sent
[Verse 2]
She see every crack I try to hide
Every shadow I bury inside
Reads the silence I won’t explain
Feels the weight of my quiet pain
She don’t run when the walls close in
She locks in when the fight begins
With a hand on my chest, slow and strong
Reminding my heart to keep going on
[Pre-Chorus ]
She don’t need me to be okay
She just needs me to stay
[Chorus]
When the highs get high, she lets me fly
But she’s right there watching the sky
And when the lows crash down like a storm at sea
She’s the ground when I can’t find my feet
Half of me is breaking apart
Half of her is guarding my heart
And right there in the darkest blue
She’s the light that pulls me through
[Bridge]
“I’m a fraud, I’m a mess, I’m a lie I can’t defend”
She says “You’re the man that I love, from today til the end”
“I keep losing myself every step that I take”
She says “Then I’ll find you again every time that you break”
[Build]
I’m learning I don’t have to hide
She’s the strength I lean on to survive
[Final Chorus ]
When the highs get high, I still might fall
But she’s there to catch it all
When the lows press down till I can’t breathe in
she’s the air filling my lungs again
Half of me still fights the night
Half of her keeps up the light
And somewhere in the push and pull
she make my broken pieces whole
[Outro]
I’m not fixed, I’m not free
But I’m more than I used to be
‘Cause where I’m weak and torn apart
She’s the half that holds my heart
