[Verse 1]
Sis, forget his raggedy ass
You been folding your joy for too long
He left you with crumbs on the table
Still you kept singing that same old song
I seen you checking that phone again
Like pain might turn into a prayer
But baby, your heart is a front porch light
And it should be shining out there
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't block your blessings
For a broken thing
Don't keep your roses
In a room that stings
There’s a better love
With a softer name
It starts right here
When you call yours first, babe
[Chorus]
Love yourself first
Love yourself first
Smile come back
When you choose you first
Love yourself first
Love yourself first
There's somebody beautiful
Waiting on you (waiting on you)
[Verse 2]
I know them nights can feel like weather
When the sheets hold every tear
You keep replaying the same old ending
Like the hurt might disappear
But your reflection ain't asking permission
To be held, to be whole, to breathe
You don't need a man to hand you daylight
You've got sunrise under your sleeve
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't block your blessings
For a broken thing
Don't keep your roses
In a room that stings
There’s a better love
With a softer name
It starts right here
When you call yours first, babe
[Chorus]
Love yourself first
Love yourself first
Smile come back
When you choose you first
Love yourself first
Love yourself first
There's somebody beautiful
Waiting on you (waiting on you)
[Bridge]
Take a slow walk back to your own name
Let your mirror say it clean
You were never meant to beg for love
You were built to be the dream
And if he won't hold what he found
Let him go with the broken line
You ain't losing when you leave that weight
You are making room for shine
[Chorus]
Love yourself first
Love yourself first
Smile come back
When you choose you first
Love yourself first
Love yourself first
There's somebody beautiful
Waiting on you (waiting on you)
