When the Room Goes Quiet

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I walk into a room and feel the weight Before anybody says a word Every trembling voice, every breaking heart Somehow mine has already heard I carry pieces people leave behind Even when they never meant to share And I’m already fighting my own tears But I still make room for theirs [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know where their hurt ends And where mine begins I keep taking it all in Till there’s no space left within [Chorus] When the room goes quiet And there’s nobody left to save All the sadness I’ve been holding Comes crashing like a wave Mine and yours and everybody’s Every heartache I can feel And I wish somebody would hold me Say, “You don’t have to be strong here” Tell me I’m gonna be okay Even if I don’t believe it tonight ’Cause when the whole world goes silent I’m alone with everything I feel inside [Verse 2] Everybody’s fighting something So I swallow what I need How can I ask someone to carry me When they’re barely on their feet? So I say, “I’m fine,” and keep on listening I give the comfort that I crave I become the arms for everybody else While mine stay empty at the end of the day And I know they never asked me To feel every tear they cry But their sadness finds a home in me And mine has nowhere left to hide [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know how to turn it off Or make my heart feel less I feel everything so deeply Till I’m drowning in the depth [Chorus] When the room goes quiet And there’s nobody left to save All the sadness I’ve been holding Comes crashing like a wave Mine and yours and everybody’s Every heartache I can feel And I wish somebody would hold me Say, “You don’t have to be strong here” Tell me I’m gonna be okay Even if I don’t believe it tonight ’Cause when the whole world goes silent I’m alone with everything I feel inside [Bridge] I don’t need somebody to fix me I don’t need answers tonight I just need somewhere soft to fall Some arms to hold me tight Don’t tell me someone has it worse Don’t tell me I’ll be fine Just sit beside me in the darkness And let me finally cry Because I’m tired of being the safe place When I don’t have one of my own I’m tired of carrying everybody Then carrying myself home [Breakdown] Who holds the one who feels it all? Who catches me when I finally fall? Who hears the things I never say Because everybody else needs me okay? I’m hurting too I’m hurting too Sometimes the strongest thing I need Is someone whispering, “I’ve got you.” [Final Chorus] When the room goes quiet And the noise has disappeared Every sadness finds me waiting Every pain becomes so clear Mine and yours and everybody’s All tangled in my chest And I wish somebody would hold me And let my tired heart rest Tell me I’m gonna be okay Tell me I don’t have to know how Tell me I can put the whole world down And just be the one who needs love now ’Cause I feel so much, so deeply And some nights it’s just too much I don’t need you to save me I just wish somebody Would hold me While I hurt.
