Gave up all my energy when I’m the one that needed sleep
Helped them back to the surface when I could barely breathe
Gave you all my happiness, but now there’s none left for me
Holding back all of my tears, put a fake smile on
Gave you all my love and warmth when all my strength was gone
Constantly feeling my heart break, but still give it my all
Every day, continue on
.
Try to drown the pain away, don’t feel it anymore
I’ll bury myself in work until I only feel numb
But I’ve never felt so lonely, just missing a hand to hold
Don’t have control
.
But now I know
Before I can give love to someone else
I need to learn to love myself
.
Can’t save another until I save myself
