06 - Held it Together

[Verse 1]
Long nights, hard roads, with bills that won’t quit,
The weight on my shoulders, but I never admit.
Wife, kids, the job, they’re all counting on me,
Trying to be the man they need me to be.

[Chorus]
Held it all together when everything broke,
Every cracked piece, every word I never spoke.
Step by step, I kept the fight alive,
Even when I thought I couldn’t survive.
But I kept going, 'cause I knew you needed me,
I held it all together, gave all of me.

[Verse 2]
I’m the one they lean on, the one they trust,
Even when my strength is turning to dust.
Every morning, I rise, I wear my disguise,
Pretend I’m alright, though I’m breaking inside.

[Chorus]
Held it all together when everything broke,
Every cracked piece, every word I never spoke.
Step by step, I kept the fight alive,
Even when I thought I couldn’t survive.
But I kept going, 'cause I knew you needed me,
I held it all together, gave all of me.

[Bridge]
I keep pushing through, even when I break,
Fighting for you, no matter what’s at stake.
I wear the weight like it’s part of my skin,
But I’ll keep holding on, even when I’m giving in.

[Final Chorus – Full Band Rise]
Held it all together, when everything fell,
Every shattered piece, every silent yell.
Step by step, I kept the fight alive,
Even when I thought I couldn’t survive.
But I kept going, 'cause I knew you needed me,
I held it all together, gave all of me.

[Outro]
Held it all together, gave all of me...
