[Verse]
I paint their skies in shades of gold
Hold their hands when they feel cold
But my spine bends
It starts to break
Another smile is all it takes
[Prechorus]
They see a fortress
I’m just sand
Slipping through their open hands
[Chorus]
I lift them up
I’m falling down
A fragile queen without a crown
Cracked porcelain
I’ll never mend
They call it love
But I pretend
[Verse 2]
I’m the echo in their cheers
Swallow pain to calm their fears
But the silence screams at night
A whispered plea
No end in sight
[Prechorus]
They see my light
But not my shade
A dying star that fades away
[Chorus]
I lift them up
I’m falling down
A fragile queen without a crown
Cracked porcelain
I’ll never mend
They call it love
But I pretend
