Everybody’s rock

Somewhere Between Lost and Living

Verse 1

The sun cut across the windshield and I couldn't look away.

The radio played some half-remembered song, in a split second all reason slipped away.

I didn't have the energy to argue with the silence,

So I sat there, letting my mind go wherever it wanted.

Somewhere between the things I lost and the things I couldn't say,

I'm just wishing everything would be okay.

I've been waking up tired, even after sleeping all night,

Putting on a smile just to make everybody think I'm alright.

I don't talk about the damage, I just bury it deep,

'Cause nobody wants to hear about the things that keep you from sleep.

And I'm sick of being strong when I'm barely holding on,

Sick of telling everybody nothing's wrong when everything is wrong.

Pre-Chorus

I've been lost inside myself for so damn long,

I can't remember when being here felt like home.

And the hardest part is nobody sees me fall,

'Cause I've gotten good at looking fine while I'm losing it all.

Chorus

I'm everybody's rock, but I can't stand on my own,

Busy holding everybody up while I'm falling apart alone.

I'm screaming at the ceiling, but nobody hears a sound,

I'm giving everybody shelter while I'm burning to the ground.

Who's gonna catch me when I finally let go?

Who's gonna put me back together when there's nothing left to hold?

I've been fighting my own battles with a war nobody sees,

Everybody thinks I'm made of stone, but I'm breaking underneath.

Verse 2

I've been the one they call when everything goes wrong,

The one who keeps them standing when they don't feel strong.

I know how to hold somebody when their whole world falls apart,

But I can't seem to find the strength to put myself back together.

I'm everybody's safe place, everybody's shoulder to lean on,

But where the hell do I go when I need somewhere to belong?

I've spent so much time making sure everybody's okay,

I think I lost myself somewhere along the way.

Bridge

And maybe I'm not as strong as everybody thinks,

Maybe I'm just better at hiding how close I am to the brink.

I've got a thousand words inside me that I'll probably never say,

And I'm so damn tired of pretending I'm okay.

Final Chorus

I'm everybody's rock, but I can't stand on my own,

Busy holding everybody up while I'm falling apart alone.

I'm screaming at the ceiling, but nobody hears a sound,

I'm giving everybody shelter while I'm burning to the ground.

Who's gonna catch me when I finally let go?

Who's gonna put me back together when there's nothing left to hold?

I've been fighting my own battles with a war nobody sees,

Everybody thinks I'm made of stone, but I'm breaking underneath.

Outro – Quiet, stripped-down piano

And the sun still cuts across the windshield,

Another day I can't explain.

Everybody thinks I'm getting better,

But I swear I'm still the same.

I'm everybody's rock...

But who's there for me?
