Verse 1
I gave my time, I gave my heart,
Stayed when everybody fell apart,
Picked up pieces nobody could see,
But nobody ever noticed me.
I bit my tongue, I wore a smile,
Walked their roads for miles and miles,
Trying hard to make things right,
Yet somehow I'm the one they fight.
Pre-Chorus
Every thank you fades away,
Every effort gets erased,
Seems no matter what I do,
There's always something I didn't prove.
Chorus
I'm always taken for granted,
Always left feeling stranded,
Giving all I've got and still they say
I should've done it some other way.
I'm tired of carrying everyone's pain,
Only to hear I'm the one to blame,
No matter how hard I try or how much I give,
Nothing I do is enough for them.
Verse 2
I've worn myself down to the bone,
Trying not to leave anyone alone,
Held back tears behind closed doors,
Still they ask me for a little more.
They don't see the sleepless nights,
The battles fought behind my eyes,
Just the moments where I couldn't stand,
And suddenly they don't understand.
Pre-Chorus
Every sacrifice disappears,
Lost beneath expectations and fears,
And all the love I freely gave,
Feels buried in an unmarked grave.
Chorus
I'm always taken for granted,
Always left feeling stranded,
Giving all I've got and still they say
I should've done it some other way.
I'm tired of carrying everyone's pain,
Only to hear I'm the one to blame,
No matter how hard I try or how much I give,
Nothing I do is enough for them.
Bridge
How many times can someone break,
Before there's nothing left to save?
How many dreams can disappear,
Drowned beneath another year?
I've lost myself in endless fights,
Spent too long chasing wrong from right,
And every scar beneath my skin,
Reminds me I never seem to win.
Final Chorus
I'm always taken for granted,
Always left feeling abandoned,
Giving everything until I'm dry,
Watching pieces of myself die.
No matter how much love I bring,
It never seems to mean a thing,
And after all the blood and trust,
I'm still the one who's not enough.
Outro
So I'll keep wearing this disguise,
With broken hope behind my eyes,
And though I gave more than I had,
Somehow I'm still the bad one in the end.
No matter what I try to do,
Nothing's ever good enough for you.
