Loving Me More Than Myself

I was fading in the quiet…

Learning how to disappear…

Every mirror told a story

I was never meant to hear…

I built walls no one could enter,

Turned my pain into a home,

Every “I’m fine” felt like surrender—

I was safer all alone.

Every night I’d fight the silence,

Every thought would pull me down,

I stopped reaching for the daylight…

Got too used to being drowned.

🌌 [Pre-Chorus – Subtle rise]

Then you found me in the shadows,

Didn’t turn or walk away…

You saw something I was hiding—

Something I had thrown away…

YOU LOVED ME MORE THAN I COULD LOVE MYSELF—

When I was breaking, you held what was left…

When I was lost in the war in my head—

YOU FOUGHT FOR ME INSTEAD!

I couldn’t see what you could see…

There was no light left inside of me…

But you stayed when I needed help—

YOU LOVED ME MORE… THAN I LOVED MYSELF…

You spoke life into my silence,

Like you knew I still was there,

Every word cut through the darkness—

Like a breath of open air.

I was sinking in my own mind,

You were reaching through the deep,

You refused to let me vanish…

You refused to let me leave.

When I told you I was nothing…

You said “that’s a lie you’ve learned…”

And you stood inside the fire—

Just to show me I could burn…

YOU LOVED ME MORE THAN I COULD LOVE MYSELF—

When I was shattered, you carried the hell…

When I was drowning under my pain—

YOU PULLED ME THROUGH THE RAIN!

I didn’t think I could be saved…

I didn’t think I’d find my way…

But you stayed when I needed help—

YOU LOVED ME MORE… THAN I LOVED MYSELF…

(quiet, raw)

Why would you fight… for someone like me…?

When I had nothing… left to believe…

(build begins)

But you didn’t leave…

You made me see…

YOU LOVED ME MORE—AND YOU TAUGHT ME HOW—

To stand back up… to breathe somehow…

You saw the strength I couldn’t find—

WHEN I WAS LOST INSIDE MY MIND!

Now every piece you helped me save…

Is everything I am today…

I’m finally learning how to be—

SOMEONE WORTH FIGHTING FOR… LIKE YOU FOUGHT FOR ME!

(gentle, healing)

I’m still healing… still unsure…

But I’m not who I was before…

Because someone saw…

What I couldn’t tell…

And loved me more…

Than I loved myself…
