Verse 1:
Every day I hold the pieces
Try to keep it standing tall
You talk about the life we’re building
But nothing’s changing here at all
You’ve got answers in the distance
Somewhere I can’t follow through
I’m down here living in the real world
Trying to make it work for two
Verse 2:
I’m so tired I don’t feel like me now
Wearing thin in everything I do
You call it change, something spiritual
But it don’t feel like healing coming through
Feels like I’m fading in the background
Of a life I don’t recognize
While you’re chasing something out there
I’m just trying to survive
Chorus:
I love you, but I’m losing myself
Trying to do it all for you
Reaching out with empty hands
There’s only so much I can do
I need you here beside me now
Not somewhere I can’t get to
I love you, but I’m losing me
Trying to hold on to you
Verse 3:
I’ve been patient, I’ve been understanding
Given more than I had left
But love shouldn’t feel this one-sided
Or leave me this damn spent
I don’t need a grand solution
I don’t need a perfect plan
Just someone willing to stand beside me
And mean it when they say they can
Bridge:
I’ve tried to wait, I’ve tried to believe
Things would change eventually
But hope alone won’t carry this
And it’s getting hard to breathe
Final Chorus:
I love you, but I’m losing myself
Trying to do it all for you
Reaching out with empty hands
There’s only so much I can do
I need you here beside me now
Not somewhere I can’t get to
I love you… but I’m losing me
Trying to hold on to you
Outro:
If love costs me who I am
What are we holding onto?
