To love myself

Verse 1

I looked in the mirror

Every flaw was loud

Every hope felt far away

Each day a heavy cloud

I tried to smile

It never stayed

Life felt like a battle

I didn’t know my way

Pre-Chorus 1

I chased who I thought I should be

Believed every doubt inside

Hid the real me

Not sure how to breathe

Chorus

But now

I’ve stopped chasing

Stopped believing lies

All I needed

Was to see myself

I can finally breathe

I found my smile again

It’s real this time

I see myself

As a friend

I love myself

A little more each day

And this is

How I start again

Verse 2

Every fear that haunted me

Every shadow in my mind

Can’t define me now

I’ve left those doubts behind

The world spins fast

But I’m steady here

I’ve found my strength

I can hold my own hand

Pre-Chorus 2

I chased who I thought I should be

Believed every doubt inside

Hid the real me

Not sure how to breathe

Chorus

But now

I’ve stopped chasing

Stopped believing lies

All I needed

Was to see myself

I can finally breathe

I found my smile again

It’s real this time

I see myself

As a friend

I love myself

A little more each day

And this is

How I start again

Bridge

I’m here

I’m not leaving

Not today

Not now

Not ever.

Growing stronger

In my own skin

Learning how

To love myself

Again

Final Chorus / Outro

I’ve stopped chasing

Stopped believing lies

All I needed

Was to see myself

I can finally breathe

I found my smile again

It’s real this time

I see myself

As a friend

I won’t fall again

Not today

Not ever

I am my safe place

I am free

Never again
