Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You slam doors

I slam brakes

Kids crying in the hallway

Paper plates, cold steak

I clock in

You clock rage

I'm counting every dollar

You're counting every mistake

I'm scared of the silence

I'm scared when we shout

I don't like who I'm becoming

When we try to work it out (yeah)

[Chorus]

I push myself for you

Till my hands shake, till my chest bruise

I break myself in two

So the kids don't see us lose

I'm standing in this house like a stranger

Walking on eggshells, breathing in anger

If loving you is all that I remember

Why do I feel like I'm dying here?

[Verse 2]

You say "leave"

Then say "stay"

Threats hanging in the kitchen

Like knives we never put away

I'm late home

You don't care why

You just circle every shortfall

Like buzzards in the sky (oh)

I hold them

When you curse

Tell them "Mom and Dad are trying"

While I'm praying it gets worse

Before it gets better

Or just ends first

[Chorus]

I push myself for you

Till my hands shake, till my chest bruise

I break myself in two

So the kids don't see us lose

I'm standing in this house like a stranger

Walking on eggshells, breathing in anger

If loving you is all that I remember

Why do I feel like I'm dying here?

[Bridge]

If I give up, who am I?

If I stay, will I survive?

I'm so tired of choosing sides

Inside my own life (yeah)

[Chorus]

I push myself for you

Till my hands shake, till my chest bruise

I break myself in two

So the kids don't see us lose

I'm standing in this house like a stranger

Whisper to the mirror, "I'll change her"

But the only one I can save is the man here

Who’s terrified, but still right here
