Loving Yourself
It's only sometimes
It'll be okay
Because after all, tomorrow is another day
The scars will heal and the bruises will fade
But the sting of his words will always stay
You push the pain aside, because he's actually really great
Who else would want me anyways?
Who could put up with me, I'm a disgrace
When it's good you feel light
Like he's really changed, like it will all be alright
We have history, we really do
When I ask why he smiles he says, "because I love you"
But it happens again
And that pain in your chest
And those tears in your eyes
And the waves of resent because of his lies
One day enough is enough
Because you can't live in agony and call it love
You can't know your worth when you live in despair
If you don't stop being a doll on a shelf
You will never discover that no one can love you until you love yourself
