Sody wrote this song about her mum while in lockdown, trying to create a reminder that she is not responsible for everything and everyone’s problems and that she is allowed be a person and not just a mum.
[Verse 1]
Let down so easily
Not how it needs to be
Playing happy families
It's not like that
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to try to please the others
You don't need to be the one to suffer
It's okay to cry and show what's under
Take care of yourself and show your colors
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
[Verse 2]
Dark days in the shadows
You're so afraid of being alone
Who is standing in the mirror?
'Cause that's not you
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to try to please the others
You don't need to be the one to suffer
It's okay to cry and show what's under
Take care of yourself and show your colors
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
You don't have to hold it all together
[Outro]
You don't have to try to please the others
Take all of the time in the world to recover
You should know you're more than just a mother
And I'm so proud to be your daughter
