3:21[Intro – ] How do you break when the pressure’s all mine? You make paper cuts feel like landmines! [Verse 1] You called me cold for keeping calm, But I’ve been holding back just to keep us from the storm. You act like “the sky is falling” everyday, And I just nod, “yeah, babe, i don't know what to say” But I’ve got boxes in my chest I haven’t opened yet, Filled with shit I never say so you won’t feel upset. Like how I miss the dead, Or how this pressure has me scared I’ll drown, In the silence that we’ve built just to keep from burning out. That’s the end of the line, And I’m the villain every single time. You weaponize your moods like knives, And I walk the edge just to survive. Can't even say, "I'm not okay", Without you turning it your way. [Pre-Chorus – ] You make storms out of rain And I’m the one who takes the blame So I shut down, play pretend Hold it in so I not to offend—you [Chorus – ] 'Cause everyday’s a tragedy, Every breath, a new catastrophe. You're drowning in the shallow end, And I can't even call you out again. It’s always a new crisis And I can’t process what my life is. You see the world through shattered glass, And there’s no room for my collapse. [Verse 2] You take offense like it’s oxygen, Need conflict just to feel alive again. I tiptoe just to keep the peace, Things aren't really that deep. But every time I try to speak, You twist my pain, i get it, I'm weak. [Pre-Chorus – ] You make storms out of rain And I’m the one who takes the blame So I shut down, play pretend Hold it in so I not to offend—you [Chorus – ] 'Cause everyday’s a tragedy, Every breath, a new catastrophe. You're drowning in the shallow end, And I can't even call you out again. It’s always a new crisis And I can’t process what my life is. You see the world through shattered glass, And there’s no room for my collapse. [Bridge – I’m done walking your minefield blind I’m done pretending your chaos is fine Every day’s a meltdown waiting to blow And I’ve got nowhere left to go You're not the only one who hurts! But you never ask, you never learn! You burn the house just to stay warm, like it or not, Then complain it's too hot. [Pre-Chorus – ] You make storms out of rain And I’m the one who takes the blame It’s not love, it’s just survival [Chorus – ] 'Cause everyday’s a tragedy, Every breath, a new catastrophe. You're drowning in the shallow end, And I can't even call you out again. It’s always a new crisis And I can’t process what my life is. You see the world through shattered glass, And there’s no room for my collapse. [Outro – ] It’s not love, it’s just survival A one-sided war, no survival You want sympathy, endlessly But you never made space for me
