[Verse 1]
I keep my answers folded in my sleeve
A practiced little smile you can believe
The room gets loud, I turn the volume down
I’m standing here, but I don’t feel around
[Pre-Chorus]
You ask me what I’m holding back
I lose the words before they land
[Chorus]
I’m going numb where the pressure breaks
A face held still while the whole thing shakes
You reach for me; I let you pass
I watch the moment turn to glass
[Verse 2]
I count the cracks along the kitchen tile
And wear the same expression for a while
You say my name like it could pull me through
But every sound arrives a room from you
[Pre-Chorus]
You ask me what I’m holding back
I lose the words before they land
[Chorus]
I’m going numb where the pressure breaks
A face held still while the whole thing shakes
You reach for me; I let you pass
I watch the moment turn to glass
[Bridge]
If I could feel the edge again
I’d know where I begin
Don’t let this quiet make the choice
I’m still beneath it, still a voice
[Final Chorus]
I’m going numb where the pressure breaks
A face held still while the whole thing shakes
You reach for me; I turn at last
I won’t let this moment turn to glass
[Outro]
Still here beneath it
Still here
