Fill the Cup


Lover, preacher, teacher, friend
You were all these things to me
You helped me open up my eyes
And now I'm starting to see

You gave me the key
And you showed me the way
I'm learning not to be afraid anymore
And on my own two feet
I'm opening the door

Things didn't work out exactly like I'd planned
And deep down inside, part of me will always be sad
I only wanted to be your man, but now I know
I'm learning, but I still have a ways to go

I hope you're doing well, and I think you are
I'm doing good, and I'm learning a lot
Figuring out the difference
Between what's good for me and what's not

When I left, I was down
But now things are looking up
With the things you taught me
I'm finally learning
I'm filling up the cup

"Fill the cup," is what you said to me
"You have to live life for yourself
This is your one shot at being happy
Do it for you, and no one else"

I love you with everything I got
And you know I always will
From this life, to the next, to the next, to the next
You'll have a place in my heart, still

You will walk with me for the rest of my days
And I think what you had planned
Was to teach me how to live, how to love
But mostly how to be my own man

Things are different now
But now I won't stop, won't shut up
You gave me the greatest gift of all
You taught me to love myself
And now I can fill the cup
