I've been standing in the shadows watching others live,
allowing them to take from me all I had to
give
Saving nothing for myself, I'm an empty
soul,
I need to find a remedy to help make me
whole
I was raised to give to anyone in need
but I didn't realize that ''anyone'' was
me
Thinking it was selfish to withhold my
love,
allowed me to put everyone else above
Trying to please others was something I 'd
do
and I got satisfaction from loving
you
By the time I noticed, I was someone who,
was never taught to show myself that love too
I've been standing in the shadows watching others
live,
giving more of myself than I had to give
