Hold It Together

She said "are you okay?" And I'm staring into space It's making her nervous 'cause one thing is certain I don't have my head on straight We're trying to get through each week On two or three hours of sleep I said "don't be patient" That we're going to make it I have to admit that I'm struggling They say take it slow But the world keeps spinning And that I don't control And so there I go Trying to act normal So they won't know that I'm just trying to hold my shit together Together darling I'm just trying to hold my shit together Together darling They say that they sympathize I'm grateful they take the time But bringing it up at this six year old birthday It kinda fucks up my vibe We end on an awkward note I make the most awkward joke Too dark to be funny I shouldn't have come it'd be weird to go home And I'm struggling They say take it slow But the world keeps spinning And that I don't control And so there I go Trying to act normal So they won't know that I'm just trying to hold my shit together Together darling I'm just trying to hold my shit together Together darling Oh I don't know what else to try Pretend I'm in control But I'm just trying to hold my shit together Together darling I'm just trying to hold my shit together Together darling I'm just trying to hold my shit together Together darling Oh I don't know what else to try Pretend I'm in control But I'm just trying to hold my shit together Together darling --- Hold It Together - Mike Shinoda
