Got To Love Myself

Woke up scrolling through my doubts

All those little looping lies

Tried on every mask I own

They all slipped right off my eyes

I’ve been chasing every mirror

Begging them to make me new

But every angle

Every filter

Still keeps leading back to you (to me)

Got to love myself

Like I swear I love everybody else

Put my hand on my heart

Say “I’m doing my best”

Yeah

I’m scared

But I’m still saying yes

Got to love myself

Every scar

Every story that I tell

If I’m standing here

Breathing

That’s a win in itself

Got to

Got to love myself (oh yeah)

Canceled plans to please my fear

Turned my phone to “never mind”

But that quiet in the room

Said “you’ve left your own side”

So I’m learning how to listen

When my body says “that’s enough”

Treat my name like it is precious

Say it soft

Say it with love

Got to love myself

Like I swear I love everybody else

Put my hand on my heart

Say “I’m doing my best”

Yeah

I’m scared

But I’m still saying yes

Got to love myself

Every scar

Every story that I tell

If I’m standing here

Breathing

That’s a win in itself

Got to

Got to love myself

I’m done waiting for approval

From a crowd that never stays

I’ll be clapping in the front row

For my own small

Shining days (hey)

Got to love myself

Like I swear I love everybody else

Put my hand on my heart

Say “I’m doing my best”

Yeah

I’m scared

But I’m still saying yes

Got to love myself

Every scar

Every story that I tell

If I’m standing here

Breathing

That’s a win in itself

Got to

Got to love myself

Got to

Got to love myself
