You said I'd be okay

Sometimes, kindness is what hurts the most.
I smiled, I stayed quiet, I broke myself to stay gentle-
and no one noticed I was the one breaking.

This song is for those who gave too much,
lost themselves trying to hold everything together,
and still wanted nothing more than to be held.

I just wanted to be told,
"It's okay now."
And to be held without explanation.

If you've ever felt that-this song is yours, too.
