Verse 1
You keep giving second chances
To people who would watch you drown
Smiling while they break your spirit
Then acting shocked when you break down
You wear your heart like open heaven
But they turn love into a game
And every time you lose yourself
You let them walk away unchanged
Pre-Chorus
Stop bleeding just to keep them warm
Stop calling pain “love” in another form
Chorus
Respect yourself
Even when nobody else does
Stand your ground
Don’t trade your soul for fake love
You were never born
To beg for someone’s attention
Look in the mirror
And remember your reflection
Respect yourself
Before the world decides your worth
‘Cause the moment you choose yourself
That’s the moment you return
Verse 2
You apologize for being human
For crying when the weight gets hard
But they never say they’re sorry
For leaving bruises on your heart
You keep shrinking for their comfort
Hiding fire beneath your skin
But quiet girls with broken halos
Still carry storms that live within
Pre-Chorus
You don’t need permission to be strong
And being kind doesn’t mean you belong
To everyone who hurts you just because
They think you’ll stay no matter what
Chorus
Respect yourself
Even when nobody else does
Stand your ground
Don’t trade your soul for fake love
You were never born
To beg for someone’s attention
Look in the mirror
And remember your reflection
Respect yourself
Before the world decides your worth
‘Cause the moment you choose yourself
That’s the moment you return
Bridge
Walk away if they destroy your peace
Love should heal, not make you weak
And every scar you carry now
Is proof you made it out somehow
Final Chorus
Respect yourself
Like your heart is something sacred
Raise your voice
Even if your hands are shaking
You survived nights
That were trying hard to break you
Now become the person
Little you once prayed to
Respect yourself
And never settle just because
Loneliness feels quieter
Than losing who you are
Respect yourself…
Respect yourself…
