pillar

This isn't a feeling I can shake

This isn't a spark that I can stomp out

On the pavement

I'm just saying

This isn't a cycle I can break

This isn't a one-off, savior complex

Situation

I'm just saying

It all gets built around it

All falls down without it

I was born to be a pillar

Always been a giver

Looking for a solid ground

And I haven't found it

'Cause I'm keeping you from drowning

I was born to be a pillar

Always been a giver

But I don't wanna hold you now

Maybe if I step to the right it won't crumble

Entertain the thought, then I double down

Got my dads eyes, but I'm my mother's daughter

When someone's in trouble

This isn't a pattern I can break

This isn't a one-off, savior complex situation

It all gets built around it (gets built around it)

All falls down without it (all falls down without it)

I was born to be a pillar

Always been a giver

Looking for a solid ground

And I haven't found it

'Cause I'm keeping you from drowning

I was born to be a pillar

Always been a giver

But I don't wanna hold you now

Each tear leaves a crack

Closer to a full collapse

Thought that I should tell you that

Tell you that

Each tear leaves a crack

I was never meant to last

Oh, but it all gets built around it

All falls down without it (all falls down without it)

I was born to be a pillar (oh)

Always been a giver (oh)

Looking for a solid ground (looking for a solid ground)

And I haven't found it

'Cause I'm keeping you from drowning (keeping you from drowning)

I was born to be a pillar

Always been a giver

But I don't wanna hold you now
