Verse 1 You give your pieces out like they’re free Every broken part, every memory Turn your pain into something kind Leave a little bit of you behind You hold the weight like it’s yours to take Even when you’re close to break You light the dark for everyone else While you’re fading all by yourself Pre-Chorus You don’t have to carry it all tonight You don’t have to be their light Chorus Save a little love for yourself this time You’ve been giving yours away your whole life You don’t have to shatter just to keep them whole You’re allowed to keep a piece of your soul Come here, lay your armor down You don’t have to be the strong one now Let me hold the parts you hide You don’t have to break to be by my side Verse 2 You speak the truth when it’s hard to say Stand your ground when others walk away Mama bear with a gentle heart Fighting battles before they start And even when your world falls through You still show up like you always do Find a laugh in the middle of pain Just to make it lighter again Pre-Chorus But who takes care of the heart you give? Who reminds you you deserve to live? Chorus Save a little love for yourself this time You’ve been giving yours away your whole life You don’t have to shatter just to keep them whole You’re allowed to keep a piece of your soul Come here, lay your armor down You don’t have to be the strong one now Let me hold the parts you hide You don’t have to break to be by my side Bridge (soft, almost like a promise) You don’t have to earn your place You’re already safe in this space Even the ones who carry the most Deserve a hand to hold them close This one doesn’t just comfort her… it protects her from herself a little. From that instinct to give until there’s nothing left.
