[Intro] Give it to me I've got it [Verse 1] I know how to steady the table When everything starts to move I know how to make a decision When nobody knows what to do I know how to carry the bad news And still get everyone home If something needs holding together I've always been the one [Pre-Chorus] And I meant it Every time When I said I've got this I just never noticed How rarely I said I haven't [Chorus] Everybody knows I can carry it Nobody asks what carrying costs I became the place Everyone else could fall Give me the worry Give me the weight Give me the thing You can't hold today I know how to carry I never learned where I was allowed to lean [Verse 2] There is pride in being reliable There is love in showing up There are things I would still carry Even if nobody asked But somewhere between being able And everybody knowing I would Strength became an expectation And expectation became what I understood [Pre-Chorus] Don't worry I've got it Go home I'll stay Somebody has to hold this So everybody looked my way [Chorus] Everybody knows I can carry it Nobody asks what carrying costs I became the place Everyone else could fall Give me the worry Give me the weight Give me the thing You can't hold today I know how to carry I never learned where I was allowed to lean [Bridge] If I put this down Does something break? If I say I can't Does somebody stay? If my hands are empty And I have nothing left to hold Would you still know what to do with me? Would I? [Final Chorus] I know I can carry I know I am strong I don't need to make those things Something they have done wrong But strength could be what I can offer Not everything I have to be Maybe I could keep my strength And let somebody carry me [Outro] I've got it [brief instrumental] Actually Could you?
