I learned to smile when my world turned grey, To hide every storm and just walk away. I swallowed my tears, kept my head held high, Told everyone else, “You’ll be alright.” I carried their pain like it belonged to me, Built them a bridge when they couldn’t see. But nobody noticed beneath my skin, The war that I fought just to breathe again. They call my name when the night gets cold, They lean on my shoulders, they need me to hold. But when the lights fade and the room falls apart… Who holds the strong one when he’s falling apart? I’ve been carrying everyone, carrying the weight, Holding back the flood while I’m drowning in the rain. I’ve been standing tall with a hole inside my heart, Tell me who will catch me when I’m falling apart? I was everybody’s shelter, everybody’s home, But I’ve been fighting all my battles on my own. If being strong means breaking silently in the dark… Who holds the strong one when he’s falling apart? I learned how to laugh with a crack in my voice, To say, “I’m okay,” like I had any choice. I patched up their wounds while mine bled through, Gave them every piece till there was nothing to lose. And maybe I’m tired of being the wall, The one they remember whenever they fall. ‘Cause heroes get lonely, and even the brave Can scream for a hand when they’re drowning in waves. They see the armor but never the scars, They see the fighter, not the weight of the wars. So when my knees shake and I fall in the dark… Who holds the strong one when he’s falling apart? I’ve been carrying everyone, carrying the weight, Holding back the flood while I’m drowning in the rain. I’ve been standing tall with a hole inside my heart, Tell me who will catch me when I’m falling apart? I was everybody’s shelter, everybody’s home, But I’ve been fighting all my battles on my own. If being strong means breaking silently in the dark… Who holds the strong one when he’s falling apart? Maybe strength was never meant to mean Never showing where the hurt has been. Maybe I don’t have to wear this crown While my whole world is crashing down. So tonight I’ll let the silence break, I’ll let my hands begin to shake. And if I fall, I’ll finally see… Maybe someone can carry me. I spent my whole life carrying the weight, But maybe I don’t have to drown to prove my faith. I can still be strong with tears upon my face, I can lose my way and still find my way back someday. I was everybody’s shelter, everybody’s home, But I don’t have to fight these battles all alone. And maybe being strong is opening up your heart… And letting someone hold you when you’re falling apart. So if you see the strong one standing in the dark, Look a little closer… They might be falling apart. And maybe strength begins The moment you let someone Hold your heart.
