Take Everything I've Got But Don’t Go
This song dives into the kind of love that feels like walking on broken glass—where you’re terrified of losing someone, so you start shrinking yourself just to keep them close. It captures the late-night overthinking, the self-blame, the desperation to hold on. It’s raw, vulnerable, and brutally honest, the kind of song people cling to when they’re trying to love someone who keeps slipping away.

Verse 1:
If I bite my tongue, bottle up the pain
If I write a song, maybe If I pray
Tell me, will you stay? Tell me, will you stay?
If I gave it all, would you throw it all away
Sorry, please forget all I’ve said just in case
I’ve said a single thing that made you wanna run away
I will give you truth and you can lie to my face
Anything for you to say that everything’s okay
Pre-Chorus:
I will stay awake all night revisiting
Our conversations finding flaws in everything
Everything I said, war inside my head
I used to have a fire in me, burning red
Chorus:
I don’t keep score of what I give
Oh, have it all, but just don’t leave
And all you say I will believe
Let’s build a lie for me to live
I don’t keep count of what I take
And all the promises you break
Only one thing I’m begging for
Take everything I’ve got but don’t go
Verse 2:
Said you need me now, must mean something more
Must mean you love me, love me for sure
Don’t know why I’m so insecure
What my insides are screaming for
Can’t stray, can’t go far away
‘Cause you don’t have better plans today
And I might be dying here today
Could be worse, I know, you could walk away
Pre-Chorus:
I will stay awake all night revisiting
Our conversations finding flaws in everything
Everything I said, war inside my head
I used to have a hope in me, but now it's dead
Chorus:
I don’t keep score of what I give
Oh, have it all, but just don’t leave
And all you say I will believe
Let’s build a lie for me to live
I don’t keep count of what I take
And all the promises you break
Only one thing I’m begging for
Take everything I’ve got but don’t go
Bridge:
Tell me just one thing
Are you happy, did I fail to be
All you needed me, wanted me to be
Do I still deserve you
Tell me how to feel
If you’re happy, then I feel free
I find some kind of meaning
In trying to earn you
Chorus:
I don’t keep score of what I give
Oh, have it all, but just don’t leave
And all you say I will believe
Let’s build a lie for me to live
I don’t keep count of what I take
And all the promises you break
Only one thing I’m begging for
Take everything I’ve got but don’t go
