(Verse 1)
I dried your tears before my own,
Held your heart like it was home.
I stayed when others walked away,
Never asked for you to stay.
(Pre-Chorus)
And every time I fell apart,
I hid the pieces in the dark.
⸻
(Chorus)
I was always the angel, wings open wide,
Saving your heaven while losing mine.
Carrying storms like they belonged to me,
But love shouldn’t feel like I must bleed to be.
You called me “selfless,” you called me “kind,”
But never once asked what lived inside.
I held your world so you’d feel free —
But who was supposed to be saving me?
⸻
(Verse 2)
I held your shadows next to mine,
Gave you warmth while I was crying.
You praised the girl who never broke,
But never asked what pain I spoke.
(Pre-Chorus)
I swallowed every silent plea,
Afraid you’d leave if you saw me.
⸻
(Chorus)
I was always the angel, wings open wide,
Saving your heaven while losing mine.
Carrying storms like they belonged to me,
But love shouldn’t feel like I need to disappear to be.
You called me “selfless,” you called me “kind,”
But never once asked what lived inside.
I held your world so you’d feel free —
But who was supposed to be saving me?
⸻
(Bridge)
I break too.
I bleed too.
I need someone to stay too.
Mhmhmmmm
I am not endless.
I am not air.
I deserve softness.
I deserve care.
Mhmhmmmm
I am not here just to hold up the sky.
I am meant to be held.
I am meant to rise.
Ohohohohohohohoooooooooooooooooo
(Chorus)
I was always the angel, wings open wide,
Saving your heaven while losing mine.
Carrying storms like they belonged to me,
But love shouldn’t feel like I need to disappear to be.
You called me “selfless,” you called me “kind,”
But never once asked what lived inside.
I held your world so you’d feel free —
But who was supposed to be saving me?
Ohohohohohohohooooo
I was always the angel, but now I see,
I can’t fix worlds while losing me.
I gave you love ’til I ran dry…
So now I fold my wings,
And learn to fly.
