Carrying It All Lyrics

I wake up heavy it's the same routine

A world to manage unseen obscene

Every smile every hand I hold

Who's here for me when the nights grow cold?

Pick up the pieces when they all fall apart

Patch every crack with my breaking heart

I'm the healer the fixer the constant guide

But I'm drowning inside nowhere to hide

Partners lean in friends fall back

Children demand for what I lack

Who's asking me if I'm okay?

They take and take I give away

Carrying it all like the world's on my shoulders

Breaking beneath but they call me their soldier

Carrying it all with no time to fall

Who picks me up when I lose it all?

Always the giver never the taker

The weight gets heavier it's a backbreaker

They call it strength but it feels like chains

Bound to the roles to everyone's pain

Cook the dinner fix their mess

Hide my tears conceal my stress

Partners ask "Why don't you smile more?"

They don't see the battles I ignore

Who am I when I'm not for them?

I've forgotten myself again and again

They say "You're amazing " but it's hollow praise

No one sees me lost in this haze

Tired eyes tired hands tired soul

I'm stitched together but I'm not whole

Who do I lean on when I can't stand?

I'm a stranger in my own demand

Carrying it all like the world's on my shoulders

Breaking beneath but they call me their soldier

Carrying it all with no time to fall

Who picks me up when I lose it all?

Always the giver never the taker

The weight gets heavier it's a backbreaker

One day I'll drop it let it shatter on the ground

But today I carry it with no one around

Tired arms tired heart tired mind

Carrying it all until there's no more time
