Lyrics
[Verse 1] You ask if i’m okay I nod I sip I say “i’m great” Sleeves pulled over shaking hands Laugh it off like it’s a joke i planned [Pre-Chorus] Bathroom mirror Cracked mascara Practice lines Like a tired actor [Chorus] Soft heart Strong face I hold the world I hold my place Smiling like i never taste The salt that hides behind my grace Soft heart Strong face I wear the mask I run the race Acting fine in every space While i’m breaking Breaking inside [Verse 2] Scroll past all the happy lives Type “i’m good” then hit “reply” Delete the truth before it sends Who wants the weight of what i can’t mend? [Pre-Chorus] Shaking voice Steady answers Turning fears Into practiced banter [Chorus] Soft heart Strong face I hold the world I hold my place Smiling like i never taste The salt that hides behind my grace Soft heart Strong face I wear the mask I run the race Acting fine in every space While i’m breaking Breaking inside [Bridge] If i let it all fall Would you stay? If i let the paint run down my face? If i said “i’m not okay today” Would you love the cracks the same way? [Chorus] Soft heart Strong face I lose the mask I lose the chase Let the tears cut through the paint I’m done pretending i am brave Soft heart Strong face If you can see me in this state Hold my shaking See past “fine” While i’m breaking Breaking Please stay inside
