Come Back For Me

TITLE: COME BACK FOR ME [Verse 1] Everybody had a reason Everybody had a need Everybody needed saving Everybody came to me I became a place of shelter When their worlds came undone Holding everybody's pieces While losing my own I wore strength like armor Till it became my skin Smiling through the damage No one could see within Everybody called me strong Nobody asked if I was okay I got so good at carrying pain I almost carried myself away [Pre-Chorus] And I wonder... How many times I disappeared Just trying to be what everybody needed [Chorus] So who comes back for me When I've spent my whole life Coming back for everyone? Who sees the tears After all the battles Have already been won? Who holds the healer When the healer falls apart? Who saves the woman Who's been carrying Every broken heart? Tell me... Who comes back for me? [Verse 2] I remember that truck engine I remember trying to pray I remember hearing Rocky As death sat inches away I could hear my phone still ringing My dad asking where I'd gone But underneath that Ford I couldn't answer anyone The whole world kept on turning People living out their day While the one soul fighting hardest Had four paws and my name Running circles around that truck Barking like he'd split the sky Like he was telling heaven "You don't get her tonight" [Chorus] So who comes back for me When I've spent my whole life Coming back for everyone? Who sees the scars Hidden underneath The woman I've become? Who loves the giver When there's nothing left to give? Who reminds the weary soul She's still allowed to live? Tell me... Who comes back for me? [Bridge] Then a voice rose from the silence Not angry Not loud Just true It said... Amy... You've spent years Saving everybody else You've rescued animals Raised children Carried heartache Held worlds together But who's saving you? Who's carrying you? And for the first time I realized Nobody was coming [Breakdown] So I sat with the truth And I let it hurt I let every abandoned place Inside me finally speak And somewhere beneath the ashes A little girl whispered "What about me?" [Final Chorus] So I came back for me The woman I left behind A thousand sacrifices ago The girl beneath the smoke Still waiting for someone To find her And all this time The answer wasn't out there It was here Learning that love Shouldn't cost your soul Learning that rest Isn't something you earn Learning I matter too So I came back for me I finally came back for me [Outro] And sometimes When the night gets quiet I still hear Rocky Barking somewhere beyond memory Reminding me Don't leave yourself behind again You fought too hard To make it home
