Lyrics
Why am I the one who never gets saved
I hold up worlds that never hold me back
Patch their cracks while I fall through the gaps
They lean on me like I can't break
Like my strength isn't something I fake
I'm the smile they use when theirs disappears
The shield they hide behind their fears
But when I crumble and hit my knees
Not a single hand reaches for me
I'm tired of bleeding just to let them breathe
Who's gonna stitch what's left of me
I'm the armor for the ones I love
But I crack beneath the weight above
I save everyone from what they fear
But who's gonna save the one in here
I hold them close when they can't see
But no one ever saves me
I'm the lighthouse when their storms get rough
But no one asks when I've had enough
I drown quietly in my own tide
While they rest easy on the safer side
They call me strong like it's all I am
Like I don't break, like I don't jam
But even steel gets worn and frayed
Even heroes need to be saved
I'm tired of pretending I'm always okay
When I'm collapsing more every day
I'm the armor for the ones I love
But I crack beneath the weight above
I save everyone from what they fear
But who's gonna save the one in here
I hold them close when they can't see
But no one ever saves me
If I shatter tonight, would they even know
Would they see the damage under my glow
I'm trying not to fall apart
But it's tearing at my heart
Every time I scream silently
It feels like no one's listening
I'm the armor for the ones I love
But I crack beneath the weight above
I save everyone from what they fear
But who's gonna save the one in here
I carry them through every tragedy
But who rescues me
I save everyone
But nobody saves me
