Self Love 2.0

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
