I used to pour my soul into an empty glass
Patient and kind, hoping the love would last
I gave unconditionally, I loved so hard and deep
Just to get played by the promises they wouldn't keep
I gave my all and got nothing in return
Just another hard lesson that my heart had to learn
ChorusBut today I bring me, and I’m taking back the reins
Letting go of the hurt, the mental abuse, and the pain
I’m dropping the baggage I was never meant to hold
I'm protecting my heart out here in the cold
No more ungrateful energy, I’m finally breaking free
I know my worth now, and today I bring me
Verse 2I kept my sense of humor, I'm resilient and wise
I can finally see the truth right in front of my eyes
I used to think I needed someone to share this life
But I can survive on my own, away from the strife
I won't tolerate the disrespect walking through my door
I just can't afford to give too much anymore
Chorus'Cause today I bring me, and I’m taking back the reins
Letting go of the hurt, the mental abuse, and the pain
I’m dropping the baggage I was never meant to hold
I'm protecting my heart out here in the cold
No more ungrateful energy, I’m finally breaking free
I know my worth now, and today I bring me
BridgeLisa, it’s time to breathe and wash away the past
You're stepping into freedom, and it's going to last
Sometimes the bravest thing a giving soul can do
Is build up a fence and save a little love for you
Final ChorusYeah, today I bring me, and I’m taking back the reins
Letting go of the hurt, the mental abuse, and the pain
I’m dropping the baggage I was never meant to hold
I'm protecting my heart out here in the cold
No more unappreciative energy, I’m finally breaking free
I know my worth now, and today I bring me
