[Intro] [Verse 1] I know who needs silence Who needs me to stay Who needs to hear "I'm with you" When their whole world caves I know who needs distraction Who needs somewhere to cry I answer every midnight call Like sleep can wait tonight I remember every heartbreak Every fear they never show Funny how I know exactly When everybody's running low But nobody seems to notice When I disappear inside Guess I got too good at saying "I'm okay, I'm just tired" [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I made it look too easy Maybe I never let them see How heavy everybody gets When everybody leans on me [Chorus] I hold everybody Who holds me? When my hands start shaking Who reaches underneath? I'm everybody's safe place Everybody's call I'm the one who catches Everybody when they fall But when I'm finally breaking When strong is out of reach I hold everybody Who holds me? [Verse 2] They say, "I don't know what I'd do If you weren't always there" Like that's supposed to fill the space Where somebody should care "You've always been the strong one" Yeah, I've heard it all before Maybe strong is just what people call you When they stop checking anymore I can talk you through your worst night I can find the words somehow But when my own head gets too loud There's nobody talking me down So I swallow every feeling Till I'm useful once again 'Cause everybody loves the shelter Nobody asks about the rain [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I taught them not to worry Maybe that's the part that's me But God, I wish just once somebody Would see through "I'm okay" and see me [Chorus] I hold everybody Who holds me? When my hands start shaking Who reaches underneath? I'm everybody's safe place Everybody's call I'm the one who catches Everybody when they fall But when I'm finally breaking When strong is out of reach I hold everybody Who holds me? [Bridge] Don't tell me that I'm strong tonight. I know I've had to be Don't tell me "You always get through it" Like that means I don't need somebody with me I don't want another "You're amazing." I don't want "You've got this." I want someone to look at me Before I have to ask And say "You don't have to carry this." [Final Chorus] I've held everybody Can someone hold me? Let me be the mess tonight Without trying to make me clean Let me be the scared one Let me lose control Let somebody else be steady While I don't have to know How to fix it How to face it How to be what people need I've held everybody Please Somebody hold me [Outro] Maybe I don't need saving Maybe I just need somewhere safe to fall I've been everybody's someone I just want to know I'm someone's too
