[Verse]
Standing alone in my own little world
Chasing shadows like a lost little girl
The mirror whispers but I can’t hear a sound
Searching for love that I’ve never found
[Pre-Chorus]
But then a spark lit up inside my heart
It pulled me close said this is where you start
I can't pour out from an empty sea
The love I crave begins with me
[Chorus]
If I don’t love myself how can I love you
Searching everywhere for something true
All the storms in my mind
Now they rest
Peace is from within
And that’s the test
[Verse 2]
Tuning out noise that the world tries to scream
Building up walls that shelter my dream
The pieces of me that once felt so scattered
Come together in ways that finally matter
[Chorus]
If I don’t love myself how can I love you
Searching everywhere for something true
All the storms in my mind
Now they rest
Peace is from within
And that’s the test
[Bridge]
No one's approval can make me whole
The glow I need comes from my own soul
When shadows close in I won't fall apart
I carry my sunshine right in my heart
