Cant pour from empty Lyrics

I've been the shoulder, the steady ground

Holding them up while I'm falling down

I smile through cracks, say I'm just fine

But I'm running on nothing

And I know they see the signs

I'd give till there's nothing left of me

But love shouldn't feel like sinking deep

I can't pour from empty, can't give if I break

They need me whole, not fading away

If I don't stop now, I'll slip through the cracks

And I can't love them right if I don't have my back

I've lost myself in the hands I hold

Saving their fires while mine runs cold

I thought love meant never saying no

But what good am I if I lose my soul

I'd give till there's nothing left of me

But love shouldn't feel like sinking deep

I can't pour from empty, can't give if I break

They need me whole, not fading away

If I don't stop now, I'll slip through the cracks

And I can't love them right if I don't have my back

It's not selfish to breathe, to rest, to heal

If I want to love them, I've got to be real

No more running on empty, no more saying I'm fine

I'll love myself first and they'll see me shine

I won't pour from empty, I won't give till I fade

They need me strong and I'll find my way

If I don't stop now, I'll slip through the cracks

And I can't love them right if I don't have my back

If I don't stop now, I'll slip through the cracks

And I can't love them right if I don't have my back
