Used Until Empty

Yeah…

It’s hard to tell who’s really here for me,

And who’s only here for what I can be…

Every time I pick somebody up, I fall down,

Smile on my face but I’m ready to drown,

Phone full of numbers, nobody around,

Funny how it’s silent when I’m breakin’ down.

I gave my time, gave my heart, gave my soul,

Helped everybody else while I lost control,

Now I’m staring at the mirror feelin’ cold,

Tryna fix all the damage nobody knows.

When they needed me, I was the first they called,

Now I’m sittin’ in the dark, nobody involved,

Guess I was only worth somethin’ carryin’ it all,

Now the weight’s on my chest and I’m watchin’ it fall.

How much of me is left?

I’ve been givin’ pieces till there’s nothin’ left,

Everybody takes, nobody checks,

If I’m okay…

I feel alone in a crowd full of faces,

Everybody loves me when they need savin’,

Soon as I’m empty, they all start changin’,

Leavin’ me behind while my heart keeps breakin’.

Used until there’s nothin’ left to give,

Barely know who I am anymore,

I’ve been everybody else’s lifeline,

Who’s gonna save mine?

Late-night drives with the radio low,

Tryna outrun things I can’t let go,

Lookin’ at the stars askin’ God if He knows,

Why the strongest people always carry the most.

I learned how to hide every scar that I got,

Tell everybody “I’m fine” when I’m really not,

Built walls so high nobody sees the rot,

Now I’m trapped inside everything that I fought.

I ain’t angry, man, I’m just tired,

Tired of burnin’ just to keep others inspired,

Tired of bein’ the one everybody admires,

While I’m watchin’ my own flame expire.

Maybe I care too much,

Keep pourin’ from an empty cup,

Gave everything I had,

And somehow it still wasn’t enough.

I feel alone in a crowd full of faces,

Everybody loves me when they need savin’,

Soon as I’m empty, they all start changin’,

Leavin’ me behind while my heart keeps breakin’.

Used until there’s nothin’ left to give,

But I’m still standin’ through the storm,

Maybe one day I’ll learn to save myself,

Instead of bleedin’ for everyone else.

If I disappear for a while,

Don’t think I stopped carin’…

I’m just tryin’ to find the pieces of me,

That I gave away to everybody else.
