[DJ Dance Club Intro -drawn out]

[Verse 1]
I learned to smile before I spoke
To earn affection, not provoke
I bent my truth to fit their mold
And called it love, but it was cold

[Verse 2]
I chased approval like a flame
But every spark just fed the shame
I gave too much, received too little
And called the silence something civil

[club glitch Chorus]
The love I never asked for
I give it now, I give it whole
No need to beg, no need to bend
I am enough, I don’t pretend
The love I never asked for
Was mine to give, not theirs to hold

[solo - dance]

[Verse 3]
I wore their comfort like a chain
Afraid to name my quiet pain
But now I see what love should be
Not earned, not begged—just given free

[Verse 4]
I hold my heart with open hands
No longer bound by their demands
I give myself what they withheld
And break the curse I never spelled

[club glitch Chorus]
The love I never asked for
I give it now, I give it whole
No need to beg, no need to bend
I am enough, I don’t pretend
The love I never asked for
Was mine to give, not theirs to hold


[Bridge]
Love isn’t earned through pain or fear
It’s what remains when you draw near
It’s not a prize, it’s not a debt
It’s what you give when you forget regret

[dance club Final Chorus]
The love I never asked for
I give it now, I give it whole
No need to beg, no need to bend
I am enough, I don’t pretend
The love I never asked for
Was mine to give, not theirs to hold


You don’t have to ask for love
You just have to stop withholding it
From yourself
