[Verse 1] She learned love by showing up too soon Always there, even when she was breaking too Held the weight, kept the house from falling in Said "I’m fine" with a tired little grin She poured her heart into empty hands Hoped one day they'd understand But promises don't feed the soul And she's been hungry far too long [Pre-Chorus] They called her strong, but never asked How long a heart like hers could last [Chorus] you can't give, if you can't give because the way to live is not to give and give [Verse 2] She fixed the cracks nobody saw Cleaned up messes that weren't her fault Loved so deep it became her skin While they only loved the way she fit in She learned to smile through all the pain Confused sacrifice with being brave But love ain't love when it only takes And leaves you empty in the wake [Pre-Chorus] She mistook silence for peace And loss for loyalty [Chorus] you can't give, if you can't give because the way to live is not to give and give [Bridge] Love should meet you halfway Not watch you fade away You don’t owe your soul to be enough You don’t have to bleed to call it love She finally heard her own voice say "Enough is enough" [Chorus - softer, then rising] you can't give, if you can't give because the way to live is not to give and give [Outro] Now she's learning how to receive What she was always meant to keep And for the first time, she forgives Herself… For giving too much to live... Mhmmmm mmmm She fell in love She learned how to receive She was always meant to keep For the first time she forgives "Herself" For giving too much to live...
