I’ve been propping up this house like a rusted-out beam
Painting over drywall, hiding all the screams
But the foundation’s sinking and the ceiling’s coming down
I’m a queen of the city but I’m lost in the town
They see stronger than steel when they look at my face
But I’m a high-speed wreck in a low-speed chase
And I’m sick of the ghosting, I’m sick of the fine
Just a nervous wreck walking a crooked-ass line
Yeah, I’m breakin’ at the seams
Tired of the whys and the might-have-beens
Clutching onto fragments of a girl I used to know
Before the world got heavy and the lights got low
I’m drowning in the static, I’m losing every round
Tell me who I am when the walls come down
Yeah, I’m breakin’, straight breakin’ at the seams
I keep bargaining with God for a little more time
But I’m pennies short of a dollar, I’m losing my mind
I’ve been bending ‘til I’m jagged, carried every heavy load
‘Til I’m just another crater on a dead-end road
I’m screaming in the kitchen but the air feels thick
Being everyone’s hero is making me sick
Yeah, my hands are shaking and the silence is loud
Just a lonely heartbeat in a middle-class crowd
If I shatter into glass, will you help me sweep the floor
Or will you leave me in the dark and just head for the door
I’m whispering a prayer through the static and the smoke
Lord, help me fix the woman that the world went and broke
I’m breakin’ at the seams
Tired of the whys and the might-have-beens
Clutching onto fragments of the girl I gotta be
When the chains finally snap and the truth sets me free
I’m drowning in the static, but I’m learning how to swim
Stitching up the holes where the light crawls in
But tonight I’m breakin’, Lord, I’m breakin’ at the seams
Breakin’ at the seams
I’ve been propping up this house like a rusted-out beam
Painting over drywall, hiding all the screams
Lord knows I need a little more time
If I can keep it together, I’ll be fine
Lord, I’m breakin’ at the seams
Straight breakin’ at the seams
