[Verse 1 – Singer A] I’ve been walking on a fault line, waiting for the ground to split, Every step a little tremor I pretend I can’t admit, I’ve been patching up the fractures with a smile that never fits, But the truth keeps bleeding through no matter how I cover it. [Verse 1 – Singer B] I’ve been watching from the sidelines, seeing every crack you hide, All the weight you try to shoulder with your hands shaking at your sides, You don’t have to keep pretending you’re a fortress made of stone, Even mountains crumble slowly when they’re standing all alone. [Pre‑Chorus – A & B, alternating] A: I’m tired of holding everything. B: Then let me take some too. A: I’m scared of what I’m carrying. B: I’ve been scared with you. [Chorus – Both] I’m halfway to breaking but I’m still here somehow, Holding on to pieces that I’m learning to allow, If the world keeps shaking, I won’t face it alone, I’m halfway to breaking — but I’m not on my own. [Verse 2 – Singer A] I’ve been tracing all the fault lines like they’re maps beneath my skin, Trying to understand the places where the fractures all begin, I’m not looking for perfection, just a place to breathe again, Somewhere I can let the pressure go without caving in. [Verse 2 – Singer B] You don’t have to fear the breaking — sometimes breaking lets you grow, Sometimes falling into pieces is the only way to know, That the cracks don’t make you weaker, they’re the proof you’re still alive, And the light can find its way in through the places you divide. [Pre‑Chorus – A & B, overlapping] A: I don’t know how to trust it. B: Then trust me instead. A: I’m afraid of what comes after. B: We’ll face whatever’s ahead. [Chorus – Both] I’m halfway to breaking but I’m still here somehow, Holding on to pieces that I’m learning to allow, If the world keeps shaking, I won’t face it alone, I’m halfway to breaking — but I’m not on my own. [Bridge – Call & Response → Unison] A: I’ve been holding on too tightly. B: Then loosen up your hands. A: I don’t know where I’m going. B: Then we’ll figure out the plan. Both: We don’t need all of the answers just to learn how to stand. [Final Chorus – Both, soaring] I’m halfway to breaking but I’m stronger than before, Every crack is just a doorway I’m not scared of anymore, If the ground keeps shaking, I won’t face it alone, I’m halfway to breaking — but I’m finally coming home. [Outro – Singer A, soft] I’m still standing. [Outro – Singer B, soft] And I’m right here with you.
