Held Together With Tape (Indie-Pop Ballad)

[Verse 1] Haven’t washed these dishes In a couple of quiet weeks Phone full of tiny storms That I’m too tired to read Pulled the blinds at lunchtime Called it a “rest day” again Laying still on the carpet Trying to feel like a friend [Chorus] I’m held together with tape and tired prayers But I’m still here I’m still here Every breath feels heavy in my chest But it’s still air It’s still air I don’t have to win today I just have to stay I just have to stay [Verse 2] Left my messages open So I don’t have to reply Scrolling through other people Living loud Looking fine But there’s a note on my mirror In shaky handwriting blue Says “Come back tomorrow I’m waiting here for you” [Chorus] I’m held together with tape and tired prayers But I’m still here I’m still here Every breath feels heavy in my chest But it’s still air It’s still air I don’t have to shine today I just have to stay I just have to stay [Bridge] What if “okay” is a moving line? What if the bravest thing Is getting up one more time? (one more time) So I’ll drink some water Text “hey I’m trying” Let a little light in Even if I’m crying [Chorus] I’m held together with tape and tired prayers But I’m still here I’m still here (I’m still here) Every breath feels heavy in my chest But it’s still air It’s still air I don’t have to fix it all I just have today I just chose to stay I just chose to stay
