Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I was the one they called when things went sideways The one who didn’t panic when the room went quiet I learned how to fix what nobody talked about How to carry weight without showing the strain Birthdays, bad news, long nights on the phone Everybody leaned like I was made of stone I never said no I never said I was tired [Pre-Chorus] I kept the peace I kept the ground I kept it steady While I was breaking down [Chorus] I held it together For everyone else Every storm that came I kept to myself They said I was strong They never asked why Somewhere along the way I forgot how to fall apart [Verse 2] I got good at smiling through conversations Nodding like nothing ever touched me People said, “You’re solid, you don’t crack” They didn’t see what it cost to stay that way There were nights I sat in a parked car Engine off, just breathing in the dark No one to call No one who thought to ask [Pre-Chorus] I kept the calm I played the part I kept it moving With a quiet heart [Chorus] I held it together For everyone else Every storm that came I kept to myself They said I was strong Like that was enough But strength gets heavy When nobody holds you up [Bridge] No one left me No one walked away I just became the place Where everybody stayed [Build] Still standing Still steady Still quiet Still ready [Final Chorus] I held it together Until I could see The strong one they trusted Was disappearing in me I’m still here now But something had to start Learning how to break Before I lose my heart [Outro] Sometimes the strongest one in the room Is the one no one’s looking at
