Rooms I Carry

Verse 1

There’s a house inside my chest

Built from “what if” and “be strong”

Doctor visits, late-night thoughts

Wondering what could go wrong

But there’s a smaller, brighter room

With laughter on the floor

Little voice saying “stay with me”

And I don’t need anything more

Pre-Chorus

I try to hold it all in place

Time moves faster than I can chase

Chorus

I’m still breaking, still healing

Still learning how to trust

That the life I’m always building

Isn’t slipping out of my hands too much

Through the fear and the doubt

Through the plans and the charts

I find everything that matters

In the love inside my heart

Verse 2

I count the numbers, make the plans

Try to future-proof the fall

Saving pieces of tomorrow

While I’m scared to lose it all

There’s a pressure in providing

Getting everything “just right”

But no spreadsheet holds the moments

Like small arms around me at night

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder if I’m doing this right

While I’m holding on too tight

Chorus

I’m still breaking, still healing

Still learning how to trust

That the life I’m always building

Isn’t slipping out of my hands too much

Through the fear and the doubt

Through the plans and the charts

I find everything that matters

In the love inside my heart

Bridge (very emotional)

I’ve felt my mind turn on me before

Like a storm I couldn’t close the door on

Too many thoughts, too loud, too fast

Afraid the feeling’s gonna last

But it didn’t take me under

Even when it pulled me deep

I found a quieter version of me

Somewhere underneath

Break (soft, raw)

I don’t say it out loud

But I’m scared of losing time

Of missing something beautiful

While I’m lost inside my mind

Final Chorus (lift, emotional)

I’m still breaking, still healing

But I’m stronger than I feel

Every fear has taught me something

Even if it doesn’t feel real

Through the love and the ache

Through the days that are hard

I don’t need a perfect future

I just need this moment, this heart

Outro

There’s a house inside my chest

Not perfect, but it’s true

And every single room inside

Leads me back to you
