Calling You to Say

Hey, baby girl, it's been a while,

I see you there, lost in your smile.

Hiding pain behind your eyes,

Tryna be strong, but it's alright to cry.

You been running, searching, trying to be enough,

Chasing love, when you should've started with yourself.

But I know, I know, life ain't been too kind,

So I'm calling just to tell you, you gon' be just fine.

You don't have to beg them to see you,

You don't have to shrink to be loved.

Baby, every scar that they left you,

Is proof that you still rise above.

I'm calling you to say-

You are more than what they gave.

Every tear, every fall,

Made you stronger through it all.

You are worthy, you are light,

You been fighting all your life.

So I'm calling you to say-

You gon' be okay.

I know you loved him more than you loved yourself,

I know you thought they'd come and save you from this hell.

But baby, love ain't supposed to leave you cold,

You are the home you've been looking for.

So take your time, don't rush the plan,

The things you lost weren't meant to stand.

You ain't broken, just unfolding,

And your heart is still golden.

You don't have to beg them to see you,

You don't have to shrink to be loved.

Baby, every scar that they left you,

Is proof that you still rise above.

I'm calling you to say-

You are more than what they gave.

Every tear, every fall,

Made you stronger through it all.

You are worthy, you are light,

You been fighting all your life.

So I'm calling you to say-

You gon' be okay.

One day, you'll wake up and love yourself,

One day, you'll see you never needed their help.

You were always enough, always strong,

You've been the hero all along.

So breathe deep, dry your tears,

You're still standing, you're still here.

And I'm calling you to say-
