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 had

And I know it seems like everything you do, it 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

It makes you feel alive, makes you feel less alone

Makes 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 want 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 affirmations 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 that

'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

See, you've been fighting back tears for so long

Feel like no one cares so you gotta stay strong

You perfected a smile that only breaks when you're alone

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

'Cause you're the whole package, 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

People make you question if you loved or if you chosen

But let them all regret it 'cause 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
