I tried to be the best version of myself for you
I never thought that you would turn on me the way you do
I always thought that you might recognise my love for you
And realise what I've done for you needs no review
I give you time and attention, I fed the beast
Intentionally you take eagerly from me at least
Without a mention or a thought of how it feels to me
I thought we'd thrive in the unity if I plant the seed
But how naive, to assume you've have the same belief
And like I do you actually want the same for me
I want to love you, encourage you, and nurture you
Stand on my word so you can trust that my word is true
I want to see you in the lime light
Flourish in the world you created when the times right
So many moments in my mind I gave you time
I hope one day, that you might see that what my minds like
I love the way it makes me feel when I help someone
We're all one, we need to cultivate in unison
But you and me we're something else I know it's overdone
My tank is empty, I can't give no more, I'm overrun
I need to learn to set limits for myself, I know
You say I do it to receive and stroke my own ego
No! That's the word I need to learn to use as well
I feel abused sometimes but sometimes I abuse myself
It's time for me to do that innerwork, that mental health
The future me will benefit, from a little self help
When I recharge I'll have the fuel to expel
So best rest they told me I should rest well
It feels selfish but my mind is spoken
So many feelings I contained but they were unspoken
I need to practice to let go, be more open
So they can find a better way to manage my emotions
Then when it comes to my life I give it more devotion
I guess it's right for me to heal, let's flip the token
Adopt a new way, a new me, a new slogan
I became the words I spoke, no longer broken
