Scars of the Hearth Video (MV)

I hear them yelling through the paper-thin walls
I hold my breath as the ceiling falls
They don't see the weight I bear
Holding it together when they're not there
I tuck them in, wipe the tears away
Whisper promises I'm scared to say
I'm just a kid, but I'm all they've got
Holding the pieces they forgot
I'm the glue for what's left of us
A broken home built on fragile trust
I'm the voice when theirs won't speak
The strength they lean on when they're weak
But who holds me when I break too
Who's there to catch me when I fall through
I skip the dreams I once held tight
Trading my childhood for their goodnight
I hear them cry when the lights go out
I fight my fear, bury my doubt
The world's too big for hands this small
But I'm the one who must stand tall
Their innocence is all I'll save
Even if it puts me in the grave
I'm the glue for what's left of us
A broken home built on fragile trust
I'm the voice when theirs won't speak
The strength they lean on when they're weak
But who holds me when I break too
Who's there to catch me when I fall through
I'm the glue for what's left of us
A broken home built on fragile trust
I'll keep them safe, no matter the cost
Even if my soul gets lost
But who holds me when I break too
Who's there to catch me when I fall through
I'm just a kid, but I'll carry the weight
For them, I'll stand at the shattered gate
Because someone has to be strong enough
To hold together what's left of us
