by Leslie Anne Sloan
Once upon a time, she didn’t feel this way
She was happy and so full of life – and looked forward to every day
But she fears that that woman now is gone
And that’s left her wondering, where did she go wrong?
She gave up on herself
She gave up on herself
She gave in because she thought she needed him so bad
She gave up on herself
She gave up on herself
She gave in so much she gave up on the best thing she had.
At the start, it was only little things
Just a way to make him happy and to try and keep the peace
But after awhile, she couldn’t seem to find her voice.
She’d lost it slowly – with every silent choice
Cause she gave up on herself
She gave up on herself
She gave in because she thought she needed him so bad
She gave up on herself
She gave up on herself
She gave in so much she gave up on the best thing she had.
She gave in so much she gave up on the best thing she had.
