self love 2.0
Mama said, “Girl, don’t lose your shine
Don’t let this world steal your time”
I’ve been worn down by the push and pull
Tryin’ to fill my heart when it’s already full
I chased love down every backroad mile
Gave too much just to see him smile
But somewhere between the hurt and truth
I learned what strength really means to you
I’m learnin’ how to stand alone
Plant my roots in solid stone
If I’m gonna give my heart away
I gotta love myself that way
They say self love is the best love
I want to take a deep dive into myself
I want to explore me like the depths of the oceans
So deep that when the waves crash I’ll never feel it
So deep that I find new beginnings in this adventure
See life is the adventure and I want to feel the thrill
So peaceful just floating through without a chill
So free that even the ocean flows with me
So sweet that even the sharks fall in love with me
Not to devour me but conquer with me
So kind that even the blind can see
So strong that even in a bind I won’t weep
Yeah, I’m learnin’ how to stand alone
Find my light before I go home
If the tide pulls hard or the night gets long
I’ll be my own steady song
I ain’t afraid of the deep no more
I’ve been broken, I’ve been sore
But every scar just taught me how
To breathe underwater somehow
I’m lovin’ me like I never did
Forgivin’ the girl I used to be
If love comes knockin’, I’ll let it in
But I won’t drown just to make him stay
Yeah, I’m deep enough to be me
And that’s the kind of love that sets me free
