Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She said, "Are you okay?"
And I'm starin' into space
It's makin' her nervous 'cause one thing is certain
I don't have my head on straight
We're tryin' to get through each week
On two or three hours of sleep
I say to be patient, that we're gonna make it
I have to admit that I'm strugglin'
[Verse 2]
They say take it slow, but the world keeps spinnin'
And that I don't control
And so there I go
Tryna act normal so they won't know that
[Verse 3]
I'm just tryin' to hold my **** together
Together, darling
I'm just tryin' to hold my **** together
Together, darling
[Verse 4]
They say that they sympathize
I'm grateful they take the time
But bringing it up at this six-year old birthday
It kind of **** my vibe
We end on an awkward note
I'll 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 strugglin'
[Verse 5]
They say take it slow, but the world keeps spinnin'
And that I don't control
And so there I go
Tryna act normal so they won't know
[Verse 6]
I'm just tryin' to hold my **** together
Together, darling
I'm just tryin' to hold my **** together
Together, darling
[Verse 7]
Oh, I don't know what else to try
Pretend I'm in control but I
Just tryin' to hold my **** together
Together, darling
[Verse 8]
I'm just tryin' to hold my **** together
Together, darling
I'm just tryin' to hold my **** together
Together, darling
[Verse 9]
Oh, I don't know what else to try
Pretend I'm in control but I
Just tryin' to hold my **** together
Together, darling
