“Conduit” (Capaldi Style)

Verse 1
I walk in and I feel it all
Every crack behind your smile
Like your heartbreak’s in my blood
And it stays there for a while

I try laughing like I’m fine
Like it doesn’t get to me
But I’m holding all your weight
And it’s pulling me too deep

Pre-Chorus
I don’t know where I end anymore
Every feeling isn’t mine

Chorus
I’m a conduit, I can’t turn it off
Every broken heart just hits me twice as hard
I give it all away ‘til I’ve got nothing left to lose
Everybody’s hurting… but nobody feels me too

Verse 2
I go home and shut the door
But it follows me inside
Even silence isn’t safe
There’s no place I get to hide

I would give it all away
Just to breathe for one night
But if I lose this part of me
Would I lose my whole life?

Pre-Chorus
I don’t know who I am anymore
When I’m carrying everyone

Chorus
I’m a conduit, I can’t turn it off
Every broken heart just hits me twice as hard
I give it all away ‘til I’ve got nothing left to lose
Everybody’s hurting… but nobody feels me too

Bridge (soft → explosive)
If I could shut it down, would I disappear?
Am I only love or just built from fear?
I hate this weight, but it’s all I’ve known
If I let it go… am I still my own?

Final Chorus (bigger)
I’m a conduit, I can’t turn it off
Carrying a world that was never mine to hold
I give it all away ‘til I fade into the blue
Everybody’s hurting… but nobody feels me too
