(Its like I just wanna cry… all night long…)
(I’m tired… of pouring my heart into everyone…)
(Taking more and more from me…)
(Like I’ve always got something left to give…)
(But nobody sees what it costs me…)
(I… I miss me…)
[Male]
Its like I just wanna cry… all night long,
I’m tired of giving my heart till the feeling is gone.
Putting everything I have into somebody else,
Then looking in the mirror like, “What happened to myself”
’Cause I… miss… me
I miss who I was before I needed somebody else to see
Something worth loving every time they looked at me.
Been standing in my own way for so damn long,
Watching all the things I wanted come and go.
And it makes me feel like crying… all night long,
’Cause I’m tired of believing this is where my heart belongs
Like I’m required to keep everybody happy,
Keep giving every piece until there’s nothing left to have me.
But what about me
I got feelings
I got meaning
My heart wasn’t made just for somebody to keep beating,
I deserve my own happiness
My own reasons to exist
I shouldn’t have to beg myself
To give me what I freely give to them
And that… makes… me..

(Feel like I just wanna cry… all night long…)
(I’m tired… of pouring my heart into all of yours…)
It makes me just wanna cry… all night long,
Giving everything away until everything is gone.
You keep taking more and more from me,
While I keep pretending I got plenty underneath.
But I’m suffering a loss…
’Cause I… miss… me
I’ve abandoned myself for so long
I barely recognize the person underneath.
That I just wanna cry… all night long…
Not because I’ve got nothing to live for
But because somewhere along the way
I forgot I was someone worth living for.
How did I let this happen
How’d I never get a handle on the pattern
I’ve been drowning in depression,
Still handing out affection
Like giving more of me would somehow make me matter.
And every girl I wanted,
Every heart I tried to hold,
I gave another part of mine
Before I learned to hold my own
I kept thinking love would fix it,
Thinking somebody could fill
Everything inside of me
That I was too afraid to feel
Now I’m staring at the pieces on the floor,
Wondering why I always came back asking for more.
Every disappointment started feeding that belief
That maybe being broken
Was the only version meant for me.
But I don’t wanna believe that anymore
Maybe love ain’t supposed to drain me
Maybe being alone doesn’t mean somebody failed me.
Maybe all this love I’ve been giving away
Could finally come back my way
From me.
Cuz I just wanna cry… all night long,
Let every buried feeling finally come undone.
I’m tired of giving everybody more of me
While treating my own heart like it doesn’t have a need.
’Cause I… miss… me
God I miss me
Not who I was for her
Not who somebody wanted me to be
I miss me
I got so much to give
But I got so much to live for too
And maybe for the first time
I don’t wanna spend it on everyone
(Its like I just wanna cry… all night long)
(I’m tired)
(So damn tired)
(‘Cause I miss me)
