Shella

I pour my cup until it’s running dry

Putting everybody else first, letting my own needs pass by

Shella, you trust too fast, you open up the door

Leaving nothing for yourself, always giving more

I wear my feelings right out on my sleeve

Giving away the very air that I breathe

But it’s time to let go, let the heavy things fall

Don't be so hard on yourself through it all

Take a deep breath, wash the worries away

Shella, everything is gonna be okay

Yeah, everything is gonna be okay

I think about the moments that changed my world entirely

January fourth, ninety-six, holding my daughter Alena Mae

The purest kind of love that I will ever know

Then meeting Ronald Michael Anthony—P, watching the story grow

Through the chapters of my life, the joy and the pain

I gave them my all, standing out in the rain

But it’s time to let go, let the heavy things fall

Don't be so hard on yourself through it all

Take a deep breath, wash the worries away

Shella, everything is gonna be okay

Yeah, everything is gonna be okay

I’ve never been selfish, but it's time to heal

To sit with my own soul and focus on how I feel

No more carrying the world, no more holding the past

I’m learning how to guard this heart, slowing it down at last

I can finally give myself a little grace

So I'm gonna let go, let the heavy things fall

I won't be so hard on myself through it all

I'll take a deep breath, wash the worries away

Shella, everything is gonna be okay

Yeah, everything is gonna be okay

I'm letting it go, and it's gonna be okay
