(Verse 1)
I done had my heart broken, seen it fall apart
Gave my all to people who was playin’ with my heart
Tried to build forever, they was tearin’ from the start
Now I’m picking up the pieces, tryna learn a smarter art
Yeah, I gave love freely, didn’t ask for much
But I learned the hard way, not everybody’s touch
Got intentions pure, but they didn’t match mine
Had to step away, had to read between the lines
(Pre-Chorus)
I was pourin’ from a cup that was runnin’ dry
Tryna fix everybody, while I’m askin’ why
Now I see it clearer, yeah the truth don’t bend
Gotta heal myself before I try again
(Chorus)
I done had my heart broken but I’m gon’ love again
They betrayed my trust but I’m gon’ trust again
But not until I find that love within
If you don’t love you, how you’ve been lovin’ them?
(Verse 2)
Had to look inside, had to face my fears
All the silent nights, all them hidden tears
Now I’m buildin’ me, puttin’ me first
Turnin’ all that pain into somethin’ of worth
Ain’t no rush now, I’m movin’ slow
Guard my energy, let the real ones show
I ain’t bitter, I just learned my lane
I can love again, just not the same
(Bridge)
Self-love got me feelin’ brand new
I ain’t chasin’ nothin’, I’m just bein’ true
If it’s meant for me, it’ll come my way
Till then I’m good, I’m okay
(Chorus)
I done had my heart broken but I’m gon’ love again
They betrayed my trust but I’m gon’ trust again
But not until I find that love within
If you don’t love you, how you’ve been lovin’ them?
(Outro)
Yeah… I’m healin’ now, I’m growin’ now
Ain’t no lookin’ back, I know it now
Love start with me, that’s where it begins
Now I understand… it comes from within
