[Verse 1]
Why do I always give my best
To people who don't notice?
Why do I stay up fixing things
That nobody else holds?
I've spent so much time showing up
When I was falling apart
Giving pieces of myself away
Like I had more to spare
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I kept hoping
If I loved enough
Someone would do the same for me
[Chorus]
So I'll stop waiting
For somebody else to see
The things I've always needed
The things I've missed in me
If I need comfort
If I need grace
If I need someone to stay
Maybe it's time
I learn to give myself
The love I've been chasing
[Verse 2]
I know what it feels like
To be the one who always calls
The one who keeps on reaching
When nobody reaches back at all
And every disappointment
Left a little space inside
Till I realized I was looking
For myself in other lives
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I got tired
Of asking people
For what they couldn't give
[Chorus]
So I'll stop waiting
For somebody else to see
The things I've always needed
The things I've missed in me
If I need comfort
If I need grace
If I need someone to stay
Maybe it's time
I learn to give myself
The love I've been chasing
[Bridge]
Maybe I was never asking for too much
Maybe I was asking the wrong hearts
Maybe all this time
I've been standing in the dark
Waiting for someone
To switch the light on
[Final Chorus]
So I'll stop waiting
For somebody else to save me
Stop measuring my worth
By who decides to stay
If I need kindness
If I need hope
If I need somewhere to belong
Maybe it's been here
Inside me all along
[Outro]
Why do I give so much
And get so little?
Maybe now
I don't have to
Tonenico
