There was a girl who loved with everything
Gave you her heart without asking a thing
She saw all your shadows
And still chose the light in your eyes
And I
Stayed through the silence, the anger, the rain
Held onto love while I swallowed the pain
Kept trying to save us
While slowly forgetting myself
But now
I’m letting go, and I wish you well
There’s nothing left I need to prove or tell
I loved you harder than you’ll ever know
But loving you taught me when to let go
And maybe one day when the whole world gets quiet
You’ll think of the girl who kept standing beside you
The one who saw good when you couldn’t see it yourself
Pretty little Daisy
You won’t find another quite like me, baby
I was your safe place
Your soft heart on your hardest days
I gave you a love you may spend your whole life chasing
And when someone new is lying there beside you
Maybe some part of you will still remember
The girl who loved you broken
And never asked you to pretend
You can search every city
Every road, every room
You can look for my heart
In somebody new
But no one will love quite the way that I do
And no one will ever be Daisy to you
I don’t hate you
I don’t carry revenge
I forgive what I can
And leave the rest in God’s hands
Because holding a grudge would only keep me
Somewhere I no longer belong
There were beautiful moments
I’ll never deny
There were nights that you held me
And I thought you were mine
But love shouldn’t leave you
Questioning your worth every night
So I’m walking away
With my head held high
Still wishing you peace
Still wishing you life
And somehow through everything
A piece of my heart still loves you
But I choose me this time
Pretty little Daisy
You won’t find another quite like me, baby
I was your safe place
Your soft heart on your hardest days
The woman who stayed when leaving would’ve been easier
You’ll remember my laugh
You’ll remember my fire
The way I believed in you
When your own hope was tired
The way I loved your family
The way I made your world mine
The hundred little things
You may not notice till they’re gone
And maybe you’ll miss me
Maybe you won’t
Maybe you’ll finally understand
Everything I gave when I’m no longer there to give it
But I’m not waiting around
For you to realize my worth
I know it now
I’m Daisy
Soft enough to love you
Strong enough to leave
Kind enough to forgive you
Wise enough to finally choose me
And wherever this life takes you
I hope you find what you need
I hope you heal every part of you
That couldn’t love me peacefully
I mean that
I wish you well
I wish you love
I wish you everything
I once wanted us to become
But if one lonely night
You remember the woman
Who loved you through all of it
Just know
There was only one Daisy
And you had her once.
