Yeah… I gave love when I had nothing left to give. Gave it real… Never asked for perfection. Just wanted somebody to see my heart. But sometimes… The heart you give away Is the heart they don’t know how to hold. [Hook] I never got the love That I gave so hard, I opened up my soul And they rejected my heart. I gave them something real, Never played no games, But every time they walked away It still hurt the same. But I won’t turn cold, I won’t become what broke me, Even when they reject me, There’s still love inside me. They can walk away, They can tear me apart, But I’m still gonna love… I’m still gonna show my heart. [Verse 1] I came with open arms, They came with closed doors, I gave them all my trust, They still wanted more. I was there in the darkness When nobody else stayed, But when I needed somebody, Everybody disappeared away. I don’t understand Why the real gets rejected, Why the heart that gives the most Ends up feeling neglected. I wasn’t asking for diamonds, I wasn’t asking for fame, I just wanted somebody Who could love me the same. But I learned something painful From every goodbye— You can’t make somebody love you No matter how hard you try. So I stopped chasing people Who didn’t wanna stay, And started protecting my heart Without taking my love away. [Hook] I never got the love That I gave so hard, I opened up my soul And they rejected my heart. I gave them something real, Never played no games, But every time they walked away It still hurt the same. But I won’t turn cold, I won’t become what broke me, Even when they reject me, There’s still love inside me. They can walk away, They can tear me apart, But I’m still gonna love… I’m still gonna show my heart. [Verse 2 — deeper, slower] Maybe that’s my weakness, Maybe that’s my strength, I keep giving people love Even when they push me away. I’ve cried behind closed doors So nobody could see, Wondering why loving somebody Was so difficult for me. I got scars that don’t show, Got memories that remain, Got pieces of my heart That still remember the pain. But I refuse to let rejection Define who I become, ’Cause if I lose my ability to love, Then the darkness has won. So I’ll keep my heart open, But I’ll walk with my eyes wide, I can love somebody deeply Without losing myself inside. If they don’t understand me, That’s something they gotta choose, I won’t hate them for leaving— I’ll just refuse to lose. [Bridge — melodic] I gave love… When I needed love myself. I gave strength… When I needed somebody else. And maybe someday Someone will see what I gave… Until then, I’ll keep my heart brave. [Final Hook — emotional] I never got the love That I gave so hard, But rejection couldn’t take The beauty from my heart. I gave them something real, Something they couldn’t see, But I’m still standing here… Still becoming me. I won’t turn cold, I won’t become what broke me, Even after rejection, There’s still love inside me. They can walk away, They can tear me apart, But I’ll keep moving forward… I’m still gonna show my heart. ❤️ [Outro — spoken] Maybe my heart wasn’t meant To be understood by everybody. Maybe it was meant For the people who recognize something real When they finally see it. I got rejected… But I didn’t become rejection. I got hurt… But I didn’t become hate. I still got a heart. And I’m still gonna use it.
