Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy <3 ©Doll ------- Verse 1 There’s a crack in the tiles, and it winds like a vine, It’s a secret, a whisper that’s mine, only mine. While they talk about light, about hope, about grace, The cracks in the house mirror cracks in my face. They dance through the rooms, never looking too close, But the floorboards groan and I’m holding their ghosts. Every story they tell, every smile that they fake, I’m the house; I’m the one who absorbs what they break. Chorus How do I hold what’s too heavy to carry? How do I stand when the ground feels unsteady? When the family’s falling apart, Do I crumble too? ...Do I crumble too? Verse 2 The walls are alive, they’re a canvas of pain, Every fight, every tear leaves a permanent stain. They lean on me, call me the one they depend on, But what if I break? What if I’m already gone? See, they sing about miracles, praise every gift, But I’m here in the background holding every rift. When they shout, when they cry, when they slam every door, It’s my bones that are bending, my soul that is sore. Chorus How do I hold what’s too heavy to carry? How do I stand when the ground feels unsteady? When the family’s falling apart, Do I crumble too? ...Do I crumble too? Bridge They call it a home, but a home doesn’t crack. It doesn’t buckle or bend with the weight on its back. And the tiles, and the beams, and the bricks, they all feel it, The strain of a family that’s pretending to heal it. You want to know the truth? You really want to hear it? The house is alive... but the house has a spirit. And the spirit gets tired, the spirit grows thin, And I’m scared if I falter, it’ll all cave in. Final Chorus How do I hold what’s too heavy to carry? How do I stand when the ground feels unsteady? When the family’s falling apart, When I’m holding the weight of their hearts... Do I crumble too? ...Do I crumble too? Outro There’s a crack in the floor... that no one can see. And sometimes I wonder... if that crack... is me.
