[Verse 1]
The alarm clock screams
Another war to fight
Tie my shoes
Swallow the night
Two kids upstairs dreaming in their beds
While the weight of the world sits on my head
[Prechorus]
I fake a smile
But it’s paper-thin
The battle’s loud
But I hold it in
[Chorus]
I hold the line
I won't let go
For their bright eyes
For the love I know
When the walls cave in and the shadows grow
I hold the line
I won't let go
[Verse 2]
Her hands on my shoulder
She knows I’m cracked
But she keeps the light when the sky turns black
Bills stack high like a tower of doubt
But I’ve got no room
No way to bow out
[Prechorus]
I fake a laugh
But my heart’s a storm
I keep it warm
Keep it warm
[Chorus]
I hold the line
I won't let go
For their bright eyes
For the love I know
When the walls cave in and the shadows grow
I hold the line
I won't let go
