Verse 1

A steady ground a hand to hold
Brick by brick you built a stable home
Doing things nobody knows

Verse 2

Every day a sacrifice
Always promised you were doing fine
I didn’t know it at the time

Pre Chorus

You learned to keep your expectations low
So no one lets you down
But they find a way somehow

Chorus

You were never meant to carry this weight
You’ve given more
Than you’ve ever taken
Now the thread’s unraveling
But they still depend on you
Cause who else is
Gonna fix this mess
Or be the one
To hold it all together
When no one else notices
I see you

Verse 3

Laying there losing sleep
Reliving things you didn’t wanna see
Can’t choose the memories that you keep

Verse 4

I can see where you’re coming from
Had to grow up while you we're still young
But you can choose who you become

Chorus

You were never meant to carry this weight
You’ve given more
Than you’ve ever taken
Now the thread’s unraveling
But they still depend on you
Cause who else is
Gonna fix this mess
Or be the one
To hold it all together
When no one else notices
I see you

Bridge

I see what they don’t
You’ll do everything they won’t
Putting together every piece
First to be there the last to leave
Showing up every day
The One they don’t think to thank
So let me be the first to say

Chorus

You were never meant to carry this weight
You’ve given more
Than you’ve ever taken
Now the thread’s unraveling
But they still depend on you
Cause who else is
Gonna fix this mess
Or be the one
To hold it all together
When no one else notices

Tag

When no one else notices

Outro

I see you
I see you
