ღ I gave them unconditional love and they taught me self love..

I lost myself

It's hard to see the smile in the pain

And the heart is a fickle beast

That will bleed before it breaks

Catching up to what the head already knows

Nothing owns me

 

I lost myself for them

Their sharp whispers became my guiding light

Swallowed by their shadows in the dark

I silently screamed with a desire to become anyone else

They handed me the scissors every time they tore me at the seams

I had sacrificed my spark

 

I lost myself for him

Where love keeps a scorecard

It's all a game of the mind, power and control

Breadcrumbs are my favorite food, you know

Spirit of a warrior, I boxed with his shadows

I sacrificed my heart all for his ego

 

I lost myself for you

Rollercoaster of addiction, I just wanted to love

Too soon to gain and too soon to lose

In the quiet moments my voice stirred

The quieter I become the more I can hear

I sacrificed my sanity trying to be enough for you

 

I lost myself to find me

The worst part of going to sleep is waking up

Diamonds are guarded in vaults, not kept in the streets

I used my eyes to look and they saw

Turns out I was what was right with the world all along

Dawn broke, I am enough for me

 

I found myself

Following the whispers of my soul

I'm losing everyone and it's bringing me peace

Never saw it coming, a quiet plan is a blessed plan

It's comfortable in the shadows

Bound to my truth, I've had enough but I am still enough for me
