Loved you too much

I wake up every morning with you on my mind

I bend and break in silence hoping you see me in time

I wear your favorite colors. I laugh the way you like

But no matter how I try, I'm still just out of sight

I built my world around you, but you never looked my way

I poured my heart into you, but you let it slip away

I cried in the dark when no one could see, begging for a love you wouldn't give to me

I held on so long, thought you'd feel it someday, but now I'm done losing myself this way

I love you too much but I am letting you go

The girl you ignored, deserves to go

I chased your fleeting shadow like a fool in the rain

Carried all your burdens but you never knew my pain

I hid my breaking pieces behind a perfect smile

Hoping you will love me if only for a while

But you were always distant and I was always near

I gave you all my light but you left me in my fear

I cried in the dark when no one could see, begging for a love you wouldn't give to me

I held on So long, thought you'd feel it someday

But now I'm done losing myself this way

I love you too much, but I'm letting you go. The girl you ignore deserves to grow

But you were always distant and I was always near

I gave you all my life but you left me In my fear

I cried in the dark when no one could see

Begging for love you wouldn't give to me

One day you'll remember the warmth I gave to you

The quiet love that lingered, the storms I carried through

But by then I'll be stronger, far away from the pain

You'll look for me in the rain, but I won't call your name

I cried in the dark where no one could see, begging for a love you would give to me too

I feel not so long, thought you'd feel it someday

But now I'm done losing myself this way

So I love you too much, but I'm letting you go. Though you ignore, deserves to grow

I'll rewrite my story with love of my own

No longer a prisoner to the love I've outgrown
