[Verse 1] I split the day in rooms with different names One keeps the promise, one keeps feeding flames I stack them carefully, they lean and sway Each little life wants more than I can pay [Pre-Chorus] I count the hands I have I count the hours left Another door swings open Before I catch my breath [Chorus] Which one gets to stay? Which one gets my name? I keep making more of me While the old ones strain Which one gets to stay? I can't choose today Every life I start to save Makes another one awake [Verse 2] One takes the calls, one makes the rent come due One tells the truth, one edits what I knew I feed them scraps of sleep and borrowed time They multiply in every spare inch of my mind [Pre-Chorus] I count the hands I have I count the hours left Another door swings open Before I catch my breath [Chorus] Which one gets to stay? Which one gets my name? I keep making more of me While the old ones strain Which one gets to stay? I can't choose today Every life I start to save Makes another one awake [Bridge] If I pull one thread, the whole thing shifts If I hold them all, my grip just slips I make a new one to escape the choice Then hear it asking for a little voice [Final Chorus] Which one gets to stay? Which one gets my name? I keep making more of me While the old ones strain Which one gets to stay? I can't choose today Every life I start to save Makes another one awake [Outro] Another one awake Another one awake
