“Me First”

Yeah, I been pouring in too many cups,

But never filled my own enough…

Now I’m lookin’ in the mirror like,

“Who gon’ love you if you don’t?”

Used to give it all away,

Left with nothin’ every day…

Tried to save ‘em, lost myself,

Now I’m reachin’ out for help.

They don’t see the scars I hide,

Smilin’ just to stay alive…

Tired of learnin’ love through pain,

So I’m walkin’ through the rain.

Me first, yeah I said it, me first,

I was drownin’, now I’m breakin’ that curse.

Gave my all to the wrong ones, it hurts,

Now I’m learnin’ how to love me in reverse.

Me first, yeah, soul on rehearse,

Built from the ashes, I’m knowin’ my worth.

No more beggin’ to be seen,

I’m the love I’ve always needed, I mean…

Talked to my shadow, said “we gotta heal,”

Tired of fakin’, I just wanna feel.

Heart on empty, runnin’ on E,

Chasin’ peace like it’s chasin’ me.

Cut off the noise, cut off the doubt,

Learnin’ the love ain’t supposed to run out.

I ain’t broken, I’m bendin’ back,

Every setback put me on track.

They called it selfish, I call it growth,

Had to choose me or I’d lose us both.

Mirror talk turned into real talk,

Now I walk with a lil’ more walk.

No one’s savin’ me this time,

I’m the rescue, I’m the sign…

Lightin’ candles in my name,

Fallin’ in love with the flame.

Me first, yeah I said it, me first…

(Put the crown on, let it rehearse…)

I was drownin’, now I’m swimmin’ in worth…

(Never knew love could come from earth…)

Me first…
