Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I gave my heart away in pieces, Built a life on what they’d need. Always running toward the voices, While my soul began to bleed. Smiling through the mirror’s silence, Telling lies just to believe, That giving all would make me whole — But I forgot to breathe. [Pre-Chorus] Every tear, every sleepless night, Every dream I let slip by, Led me here to finally see… [Chorus] It’s time to love me. To mend the cracks I let them see. To hold my heart the way I tried To hold the world, unselfishly. I’ve carried everyone so long, Now I’m setting my own spirit free. I’ve given all my love away — Now it’s time to love me. [Verse 2] I was the light in other stories, The shoulder, the steady hand. But I never wrote my own glory, Never learned where I should stand. Now the echoes fade to quiet, And I’m facing what’s inside. The one I left behind the longest Is the one I need tonight. [Pre-Chorus] Every “yes” that should’ve been “no,” Every chance I let go, Was just a whisper calling me… [Chorus] It’s time to love me. To see the strength I couldn’t see. To dance alone beneath the stars And find the fire inside of me. I’ve carried everyone so long, Now I’m setting my own spirit free. I’ve given all my love away — Now it’s time to love me. [Bridge] No guilt, no shame, no second guessing, Just lessons written deep in skin. The hardest truth, the sweetest blessing — To start again from where I’ve been. [Final Chorus] It’s time to love me. To live the life I’m meant to lead. To give the same kind of grace That I gave so endlessly. I’ve carried everyone so long, But I’m finally where I need to be. I’ve given all my love away — Now it’s time… to love me.
