[Verse 1] She’s holding up the ceiling with both her hands Trying to meet a thousand different demands If she steps away to catch her breath for a minute The whole house shakes and everyone in it Is bound to fall, so she stays in place Dreaming of a corner, an isolated space Where she could just exist, where she could just breathe But the roots are tied too deep underneath [Verse 2] And even when she reaches out to fix a break It’s a zero-sum game, a choice she has to make To heal one heart, she let another one break Trading off the secrets that she’s forced to hold She’s letting someone down just to lift someone up Pouring empty water from an empty cup An impossible math where the numbers don't fit And she’s the one paying for the weight of it [Chorus] And she just wants a room that is only her own But she can't build a sanctuary on a fault zone Every time she tries to find where she belongs She’s choosing who is right and who is getting it wrong Locked in the balance, the tension is tight She’s letting someone down just to do what is right Wondering how long she can carry the sky Before the whole world passes her by [Bridge] [Screamed] [Intense] If I turn to the left, then the right side breaks! How much am I supposed to give before it takes?! There is no winning when the pieces are split! I’m tearing at the seams just to carry all of it! [Desperate] I want to help them all, I want to keep them safe! But I’m disappearing in the empty space! [Chorus] [Heavy Drums] [Explosive Vocals] And she just wants a room that is only her own But she can't build a sanctuary on a fault zone Every time she tries to find where she belongs She’s choosing who is right and who is getting it wrong Locked in the balance, the tension is tight She’s letting someone down just to do what is right Wondering how long she can carry the sky Before the whole world passes her by [Outro] [Melancholic] [Fading] Letting someone down... Just to hold it up... Empty cup... Yeah, she's fading out...
