Description
Coffee gone cold on the counter, porch light still on like a quiet question
I’ve been holding up the sky with hands they never see, everything but me
I’m in the cracks in everyone′s world while mine quietly caves beneath, everything but me
Just give me time The laundry′s folded neat but the seam′s afraid
A photograph smiles from the fridge like nothing′s wrong
I’ve been speaking to reflections, hoping someone will hear my soul, let it breathe
I’ve stuffed the aching deep inside but it′s starting to spill and they keep reminding me
They, neighbors, mothers, bosses, the rules whispered at kitchen tables
They tell me how to hold myself together
Smile, stay strong, don′t let them see, carry the love, the work, the grief
Keep your heart locked away, pretend you don′t need a thing
But damn, I need a shoulder, I′d be lying if I said I don′t
Sometimes I′m the one who′s barely holding, if women can′t break, where do these tears go?
Where do these tears go?
I fold my breath into the sleeves of other people′s lives and wonder who will fold me back
Even when they say they′re here, even when hands reach out to hold, I feel invisible beneath it all
Like my pain isn′t mine to show, trapped by every expectation, every whispered rule I′ve learned to obey
Just give me time
There′s a blanket in the chair where someone once fell asleep
And dust keeps time with all the promises that didn′t come
I′ve been speaking to reflections, hoping someone will hear my soul, let it breathe
I stuff the aching deep inside, but it′s starting to spill and they keep reminding me
Smile, stay strong, don′t let them see, carry the love, the work, the grief
Hide the fear behind your voice, your heart doesn′t belong to you
But damn, I need a shoulder, I′d be lying if I said I don′t
Sometimes I′m the one who′s barely holding, if women can′t break, where do these tears go?
Where do these tears go?
And the nights collect our unpaid goodbyes, while the house hums like a machine that won′t stop
One night I counted all the promises and kept the list beneath my pillow
Where do these tears go?
Smile, stay strong, don′t let them see, carry the love, the work, the grief
Pretend your pain doesn′t matter here
I′m asking now, who will hold this weight with me?
Who will make a little room for what I bury?
But damn, I need a shoulder, I′d be lying if I said I don′t
Sometimes I′m the one who′s barely holding, if women can′t break, where do these tears go?
Where do these tears go?
So tell me, where is it still?
Where do these tears go?
So tell me, where is it safe to go?
A porch with the light left on, a hand that stays, a place to set these tears down
Where do these tears go?
