[Verse 1]
I held your weight
When your knees went weak
I stayed up late
When your words went cheap
You left a mess
I cleaned the floor
You needed a home
I gave you more
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I call your name
And the line goes dead
I reach for you
And it cuts instead
[Chorus]
How am I the shoulder to cry on
When I ask for you, you’re gone?
Strip me down
To nothing now
How am I the shoulder to cry on
(cry on)
[Verse 2]
You took my time
Like it owed you cash
You spilled your storm
Then you hit the dash
I held your ghost
Like it still breathed
But when I broke
You wouldn’t see me
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m in the room
But I feel erased
You leave me here
With a hollow space
[Chorus]
How am I the shoulder to cry on
When I ask for you, you’re gone?
Strip me down
To nothing now
How am I the shoulder to cry on
(cry on)
[Bridge]
Bare minimum
That’s all you give
A half-assed pulse
Not a way to live
I gave you all
You gave me less
Now I’m the one
In the wreckage
[Chorus]
How am I the shoulder to cry on
When I ask for you, you’re gone?
Strip me down
To nothing now
How am I the shoulder to cry on
(cry on)
