Intro

They always say you the glue They never ask what's holdin you

Verse 1

Friday and I'm drivin Keisha home again Mascara on my seat, Ro on the line short on rent Whole group chat dependin on me like a debit card Bathroom at the function givin pep talks to strangers While my own chest feel like somebody parked on it They said we don't know what we'd do without you That's the nicest thing nobody ever meant Sat in the parkin lot fifteen minutes before I went inside

Pre-chorus

Typed it out, deleted it Three dots then I cleared the thread Almost said I'm not okay Sent back lol I'm good instead

Chorus

Who holdin you when you the one they hold on to? Smile so wide they never see through You good? Yeah I'm good, that's the lie I'm sold on too Who holdin you? Who holdin you?

Verse 2

Saturday the phone keep buzzin like a wasp nest Ain't showered yet, still wearin last night's shirt Leftovers from Tuesday sittin in the fridge untouched Opened up the notes app, wrote I don't wanna be here Sat with it a minute then deleted every letter They got me as the anchor, if I sink we all go under Mirror selfie, forced a grin, posted it Caption said blessed, eleven likes and zero questions

Pre-chorus

Typed it out, deleted it Three dots then I cleared the thread Almost said I'm not okay Sent back lol I'm good instead

Chorus

Who holdin you when you the one they hold on to? Smile so wide they never see through You good? Yeah I'm good, that's the lie I'm sold on too Who holdin you? Who holdin you?

Verse 3

Two weeks and they barely noticed I went quiet Hit me like yo where you been, we need you for the plans Not we miss you, where you been cause we need hands Lost twelve pounds, nobody see it through the hoodie Mama asked if I was eatin, said yeah I'm just busy That's the first lie that cut cause she the one who'd listen I don't wanna put it on her, she got her own weight Keep rehearsin fine until it feel like fact

Bridge

I held everybody's pieces and nobody noticed mine were gone Loudest laugh in every room quietest ride home

Verse 4

Three months and the group chat got a message The kind you read and your stomach hit the floor Ain't gonna say exactly what it said Some of y'all already know the way that story go Could be the hospital, could be the worst of it Could be they finally broke and one friend heard it Everybody in the thread got memory loss Now it's I shoulda asked in the replies You shoulda listened when the silence was screamin

Verse 5

This the part where I talk to you directly You got somebody who carry everything? Push past I'm fine, that ain't a wall, it's a window they boarded up Don't fix em, just stay in the room If you the one holdin everybody together Put the bags down, you allowed to need a hand Your people love you, let em prove it

Chorus

Who holdin you when you the one they hold on to? Smile so wide they never see through You good? Nah, not today, I'm tellin the truth Who holdin you? Who holdin you?
