Carry me Home

I’ve been walking with a weight on my chest

Smiling like I’ve got it figured out

Everyone thinks I’m strong at my best

But they don’t hear the noise when it’s quiet now

I’ve made promises I couldn’t keep

Built my walls a little too high

I tell myself I don’t need sleep

Just one more day, just one more try

If I stop pretending I’m fine

Will you still stand here by my side

If I fall tonight, don’t let me go

I’ve been fighting more than you know

I don’t need saving, I just need truth

When the road gets dark and I’m losing proof

If my legs give out and I can’t go on

Carry me home till the night is gone

I’ll walk again when I find my way

Just don’t leave me here today

I’ve been running from the mirror lately

Avoiding every honest sound

Trying to be what they all need me to be

While I’m quietly breaking down

I’ve learned how to hide in plain sight

Say the right words, play my role

But even heroes lose their fight

When they forget what feels like home

I don’t need answers tonight

Just someone who won’t run at first sight

If I fall tonight, don’t let me go

I’ve been fighting more than you know

I don’t need saving, I just need truth

When the road gets dark and I’m losing proof

If my legs give out and I can’t go on

Carry me home till the night is gone

I’ll walk again when I find my way

Just don’t leave me here today

Tomorrow’s closer than it feels

Even when the fear is real

I’m still here, I’m still breathing

That’s gotta mean something

If I fall tonight, I’ll rise again

But I don’t have to do it then

Let me be weak, let me be known

Let me feel like I’m not alone

If my voice shakes when I say your name

Stay right here, don’t walk away

I’ll stand tall when I’ve healed my bones

Tonight, just carry me home
