(Verse 1)
I cook the meals, I hold the space,
I show up early, stay too late,
My love's a garden, wild and wide,
But no one stops to come inside.
(Pre-Chorus)
They say I'm "too much," "too intense,"
Like loving deep is an offense,
But I won't shrink to fit a cage,
Or play the game of minimum wage.
(Chorus)
I've got so much love to give,
A heart that wants someone to live in,
But everybody wants it free,
No one wants to work for me,
So I'll sit here in my light alone,
Queen of a kingdom I've outgrown,
If loving me is too much work,
Then baby, you don't know my worth.
(Verse 2)
I built this ranch with my own hands,
Raised four kids, made my own plans,
My glamping tents are five-star dreams,
But my own bed's an empty scene.
(Bridge)
Maybe the lonely ones aren't the ones who wait,
Maybe we're the brave ones who won't settle for fake,
I'd rather sit alone on this Colorado night,
Than be half-loved in someone else's spotlight.
(Final Chorus)
I've got so much love to give,
A heart that wants someone to live in,
But everybody wants it free,
No one wants to work for me,
So I'll be my own home, my own best friend,
Until someone real walks in,
If loving me is too much work,
Then baby, you were never worth my time.
