Description
Coffee gone cold on the counter, porch lights still on like a quiet question
I’ve been holding up the sky with hands they never see, everything but me
I’ve meant the cracks in everyone’s world while mine quietly caves beneath, everything but me, just give me time
The laundry’s holding neat but the seam’s afraid to 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 stopped the aching deep inside, but it’s starting to spill and they keep reminding me
They’re neighbours, 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
Put some 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’ve stuffed 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
Oh, 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’ve buried
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 safe to go, a porch with a light left on, a hand that stays
A place to set these tears down, where do these tears go
