Verse 1
I let you in without a warning,
Left every door cracked open wide.
Gave all my heart in early mornings,
While you kept all your nights inside.
I colored you in golden daylight,
While you stayed shaded, far away—
I reached for you with every heartbeat,
But you were never meant to stay.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I should’ve known, but I was dreaming,
Didn’t want the truth to show—
I kept giving while you kept leaving,
Loving you was letting go.
⸻
Chorus
I gave myself away too easy,
Like a song with no refrain.
Held my heart out soft and needy,
Never thinking it could break this way again.
Now I’m standing here with empty hands,
Paying for the choice I made—
I gave myself away too easy,
But I won’t make that mistake.
⸻
Verse 2
I filled the silence with my laughter,
Hoped it’d fix the things you hid.
You stayed a chapter I chased after,
While I wrote love you never did.
I held you close though you were drifting,
Tried to shine where you were gray—
You loved the parts of me that listened,
Not the parts I couldn’t give away.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
And looking back, the signs were clearer,
But I tried to look with hope—
You were walking out, and nearer
Came the moment I let go.
⸻
Chorus
I gave myself away too easy,
Like a truth I couldn’t hide.
Offered love so soft and sweetly,
While you barely even tried.
Now I’m standing here with empty hands,
But I’m healing from the ache—
I gave myself away too easy,
But I won’t make that mistake.
⸻
Bridge
Now I’m learning how to guard
All the parts I gave for free.
Not every touch deserves my heart,
Not every smile deserves a key.
If real love’s ever meant to find me,
It’ll meet me where I stand—
No more losing all my pieces
Just to fit inside your hands.
⸻
Final Chorus
I gave myself away too easy,
But I’m rising from the pain.
Picking up the parts that need me,
Putting fire back in my name.
I’m rebuilding from the pieces
In a place you couldn’t break—
I gave myself away too easy—
But I won’t make that mistake.
