Put Together

[Verse 1] Everyone says I’m strong The kind who keeps going, no matter what’s wrong Smile on my face, dressed and pressed While the pain sits heavy on my chest

They see the trips, the golden light But not the couch where I lose the fight Postcards and highlights on their screen Don’t show the ache behind the scenes

[Pre-Chorus] And when I try to let them in They ask, ‘What do you have to be sad about?’ again Like pain needs proof Like trauma’s something I can only speak if it’s visible too

[Chorus] I’m living in a house that many would envy But it only serves to amplify my loneliness Nice cars, pretty things, but they don’t fill the empty They just decorate the silence I’m misunderstood in high-def Seen by all, but known by none I’m put together on the outside But 90% of me is undone

[Verse 2] People call me sunshine, call me brave But they’ve never seen the nights I cave I wipe my tears so they won’t see Then hold their pain like I’m therapy

They love the way I hold their storms But never ask what mine looks like in form They vent, I nod, I play my part While quietly breaking in my heart

[Pre-Chorus] They think I’m lucky, think I’m fine ’Cause I show up looking alright every time But surviving isn’t living And smiling isn't healing

[Chorus] I’m living in a house that many would envy But it only serves to amplify my loneliness Nice cars, pretty things, but they don’t fill the empty They just decorate the silence I’m misunderstood in high-def Seen by all, but known by none I’m put together on the outside But 90% of me is undone

[Bridge] I don’t want pity, I just want to be seen By someone who cares enough to lean In and ask, not judge or fix Just be with me in the thick of it

[Final Chorus ] I’m living in a house that many would envy But it echoes with a kind of heaviness They say I’m lucky, but they don’t really see me They see what they want, not my loneliness I’m tired of being the strong one Tired of saying, ‘I’m okay’ I’m put together for the camera But I’m quietly fading away
