Lyrics

I know the ceiling's staring back And morning comes in shattered glass If you can hear me through the static Hold on, hold on There's a room inside your head that no one visits The clock drags its feet and the dark won't listen You answer every message, then you disappear Smile in the mirror like you're still here And nobody sees the weight that you carry in your chest When making it to morning is the only test You think you're too much, then you're not enough But the voice in the dark is not the truth of you If you're down on your knees in the wreck of your room And the air in your lungs feels borrowed Don't make a promise to the future Just make it through tomorrow I'm not your hero But I'm not letting go When your hands are shaking And there's no one home Stay with me, stay with me We are louder than the void You are not alone I'M NOT LETTING GO I've been the ghost at the party, body in the room Laughing on cue with a hole straight through I know the shame that comes after the crying The flat "I'm fine" when you're tired of trying Holding your own hands in the middle of the night Telling yourself that you'll be alright So if you're barely hanging by a thread Put your weight on me instead If you're down on your knees in the wreck of your room And the air in your lungs feels borrowed Don't make a promise to the future Just make it through tomorrow I'm not your hero But I'm not letting go When your hands are shaking And there's no one home Stay with me, stay with me We are louder than the void You are not alone I'M NOT LETTING GO NOT TONIGHT NOT ON MY WATCH NOT TONIGHT I'M NOT LETTING GO NOT ALONE NOT TONIGHT I can't carry the weight out of your chest I can't make the world make sense But I can sit here in the wreckage And be the hand that won't let go Every night you made it through Is a war you didn't lose So don't you dare go quiet on me We're not done fighting yet I'm not your hero But I'm not letting go When your hands are shaking And there's no one home Stay with me, stay with me We are louder than the void You are not alone I'M NOT LETTING GO If you're still here That's enough for now You are not alone I'm not letting go
