[Verse 1]
Alarm before the sunrise
You leave without a goodbye
Laptop glow on my skin
Coffee stains on the contracts
I keep holding it all in
High heels in the hallway
Smile sharp as a knife
Shaking hands
Closing deals
While I bargain with my life
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m making more money than I ever had
But I can’t buy your time
Wearing this winning grin
While I’m breaking behind
[Chorus]
I’m dying in my power suit
Holding up the sky waiting for you
I’m standing strong
I’m walking through
But I’m so tired
[beat drops]
I’m so tired
You don’t see the woman fall
Only see me with alcohol
I’m screaming soft behind these walls
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
[Verse 2]
Phone rings at the red light
You ask
“What’s for tonight?”
I’m stuck in another meeting
Just trying to keep us right
My makeup hides the dark days
Mascara over rain
You call me your foundation
But you don’t feel my pain
[Pre-Chorus]
You brag about my fire
But you have no idea how I burn
You love the way I rise
Do you know I barely stand?
[Chorus and big beat drop build up]
I’m dying in my power suit
Holding up the sky for you
I’m standing strong
I’m walking through
But I’m so tired
I’m so tired
You don’t see the woman fall
Only see me with alcohol
I’m screaming soft behind these walls
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to organ and claps]
Can you love me
When I’m not glowing? (oh)
When my voice shakes
When my tears showing?
Will you carry
Just a piece of this load?
Or watch me crumble
In this tailored coat?
[Chorus]
I’m dying in my power suit
Holding up the sky for you
I’m standing strong
I’m walking through
But I’m so tired
I’m so tired (so tired)
Will you see me when I fall
Catch me breaking
Not just tall?
I can’t be your shield and all
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
[Outro]
I’m dying in my power suit
Whispered
Under office lights
If you don’t learn to hold me now
I might not make it through this life
