WHAT I HAVE LEFT

Lyrics
Verse 1 (soft piano, close vocals)
I keep my phone face down at night
Like silence might be kinder
I learned how not to need your name
But it still finds me
I gave my breath to broken things
I bled it out for moments
Now every promise feels too loud
When someone gets too close, yeah
Pre-Chorus (gentle rise)
I don’t know how to start again
When every start reminds me
Of all the love I couldn’t save
Of all the parts behind me
Chorus (restrained, emotional)
I don’t have much left to give
I spent it all on staying strong
I held the line, I took the hits
But love still feels like something wrong
I’m scared to give you what remains
’Cause I don’t know if I can lose
What I have left
Verse 2 (slightly fuller)
I learned to smile on cue again
Like nothing ever hurt me
I laugh too quick, I change the subject
So no one sees
I’m tired of proving I’m okay
Tired of being careful
I don’t want another almost-love
That disappears slow
Pre-Chorus 2
I want to fall without the fear
Of waking up alone
I want to say your name out loud
And feel like I’m home
Chorus (bigger)
I don’t have much left to give
I poured it out in broken rooms
I gave my heart to empty hands
And learned how fast it bruises
If I let you see this side of me
Promise you won’t misuse
What I have left
Bridge (quiet breakdown, raw)
If love is war, I’m tired of fighting
If love is fire, I’ve been burning
I don’t need saving, I just need
Someone who stays
Final Chorus (full emotion, release)
I don’t have much left to give
But I don’t wanna close the door
I don’t wanna live my life
Protecting scars forevermore
If you’re asking for my heart
It’s fragile, cracked, but true
This is all I have left
I’ll trust it to you
Outro (soft, fading)
I don’t have much left…
But maybe that’s enough.
