Ashleigh’s Broken Key

歌词

[Verse 1] Ashleigh wakes up late again Shoes by the door, phone on ten Coffee gone cold in a cracked white cup She says, "I'm fine," but she's falling up Bills on the counter, dust on the frame One more call, one more name She laughs too hard, then looks away Like she’s been holding rain all day [Pre-Chorus] And I see it In the way she bites her tongue She keeps on smiling Like the hurt ain’t done [Chorus] Ashleigh, hold on You don’t have to be strong Ashleigh, hold on I’ll stay when it all goes wrong (hold on) Ashleigh, hold on [Verse 2] She keeps old texts in a blue locked note Little sharp words she can’t let go Brother’s gone, mama’s mad, and the rent came due Every room feels too tight for you She paints her nails just to feel like change Then she picks at the edge till it chips again Says she’s fine, says she’s used to the ache But her hands shake when the whole world wakes [Pre-Chorus] And I know it When she turns her face away She’s been surviving In her own hard way [Chorus] Ashleigh, hold on You don’t have to be strong Ashleigh, hold on I’ll stay when it all goes wrong (hold on) Ashleigh, hold on [Bridge] One day the weight won’t own your back One day the dark won’t talk like that You’ll take your breath, you’ll take your time And I’ll be there when you cross that line When your hands start to shake again I’ll be your calm, I’ll be your friend [Chorus] Ashleigh, hold on You don’t have to be strong Ashleigh, hold on I’ll stay when it all goes wrong (hold on) Ashleigh, hold on
