Unappreciated

You show up for everybody but yourself
Got used to doing everything but never asked for help
See, you're the person people take for granted
And eventually regret it when they realize the void that you left

And the hardest part for you is just choosing not to go back
Because you holding on to memories of what you used to have
And I know it seems like everything you do goes unnoticed
People say they grateful, you just want someone to show it

It's something 'bout being wanted, it's something 'bout being seen
It's something 'bout being chosen over all those other things
That make you feel alive and make you feel less alone
Make you feel like maybe you don't always have to be so strong
I get it

But coming from somebody who took so many for granted
I just wanna say that you're appreciated
Don't let somebody's choices and decisions give your worth a definition
You deserve to express your love language
You can take my time and attention, my affirmation are endless
Physically touch your soul

With these words that I've written, give you gifts out of love
Without expecting something back
Serve you with my heart
Look, I swear it ain't no act 'cause you deserve all of that
You deserve all of that
You deserve all of that
Baby, you deserve all of that

'Cause every time I look at you (look at you)
I can see the smile that hides your pain
You want someone to notice you (to notice you)
But you should know that you're appreciated
And you never gon' forget it again

See, you've been fighting back tears for so long
You feel like no one cares so you gotta stay strong
You perfected a smile that only breaks when you're alone
And it's hard to ask for help when you do so much on your own
But if I had it my way, you would never feel forgotten
Never make you feel like you were just another option
Because you're the whole package
I ain't afraid of your baggage

You just want love, someone to show it with their actions
That ain't too much to ask
Look, I swear you ain't no burden
People come and go
It make you wonder if it's worth it
I get it
And I know it's hard to trust when you feel like nobody sees you
You don't open up in case they leave you

But you got so much value and I know that you know this
But people make you question if you loved or if you chosen
But let them all regret it because eventually they'll know it
The one that got away was the one they never noticed

'Cause every time I look at you
I can see the smile that hides your pain
You want someone to notice you
But you should know that you're appreciated
And you never gon' forget it again
