[Chorus]
I can't love you 'til I learn to love me,
I can't be real with you 'til I'm real with me.
Self-love the mountain I've yet to climb,
Loving myself, the battle in my rhyme.
[Verse]
Mirror got questions I don't wanna face,
Cracks in reflections, can't run from my space.
Heart got bruises, my spirit misplaced,
Trying to find love in a tight embrace.
[Chorus]
I can't love you 'til I learn to love me,
I can't be real with you 'til I'm real with me.
Self-love the hardest road I've been on,
Loving myself, 'til that light gets drawn.
[Bridge]
Tried to fake it, my grin felt hollow,
Chasing shadows, hard truths I swallow.
Faith in pieces but hope on a thread,
Loving myself 'fore love's widespread.
[Verse 2]
Hurt in the past, pain stayed embedded,
Healing ain't quick, yeah the journey's shredded.
Built my armor but my soul still naked,
Baby steps forward, whole life is vetted.
[Chorus]
I can't love you 'til I learn to love me,
I can't be real with you 'til I'm real with me.
Soul-polishing, that's my hardest fight,
Loving myself 'til I see the sunlight.
