[Verse 1]
I gave my loyalty away like rivers to the sea
Held people together while unraveling silently
Built homes in broken places trying to keep the peace
While parts of me kept disappearing every time I tried to please
I carried people through storms while drowning in my own
Called overgiving love because survival felt like home
Kept pouring from an empty cup hoping someone would pour back
But the truth is some people only know how to take, not build what they lack
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see it clearly
My heart was never weak
I just forgot the same devotion I gave others belonged to me
So I stopped abandoning myself for temporary connection
And started rebuilding my life with discipline and direction
[Chorus]
Loyalty
Now I give it to my healing
To the vision I’m revealing
To becoming who I’m meant to be
The same love I gave away became the thing rebuilding me
[Verse 2]
I stayed loyal to people who only loved fragments of me
Who celebrated my strength but ignored what I would need
I bent until I almost broke trying to keep everybody whole
Never realizing self betrayal was exhausting my soul
There were nights I questioned everything I tried to become
Wondering if my heart was broken or if I was simply numb
But pain became a teacher when I finally stood still
And every hard lesson sharpened my spirit and my will
[Pre-Chorus]
So now I move different
More grounded, less afraid
I don’t chase validation from people who cannot reciprocate
The energy I used begging for understanding and love
Now builds foundations beneath me instead of burning me up
[Chorus]
Loyalty
Now I give it to my healing
To the vision I’m revealing
To becoming who I’m meant to be
The same love I gave away became the thing rebuilding me
[Bridge]
Every scar became wisdom
Every ending became sight
Every lonely night taught me how to stand and hold myself upright
I’m not losing my softness
I’m just learning where it belongs
Because loyalty without boundaries can keep pain alive too long
And I finally understand
I was never too much
I just kept planting gardens in places that couldn’t grow love
Now my future feels different because my energy finally sees
The same loyalty I gave the world can also be given to me
[Final Chorus]
Loyalty
Now I give it to my healing
To the vision I’m revealing
To becoming who I’m meant to be
The same love I gave away became the thing rebuilding me
