I Need to (Learn to) Love Me

Did they believe me when I said the words “I love you”?

‘Cause lately I’m not

sure if that was true.

Trying to convince myself,

I mean the words I say,

But I don’t even

love myself that way.

I love ideas, especially the big ones.

The bigger, the

better, the easier to hide.

Can’t be disappointed if I didn’t

even try. I guess I’ll die alone with

all my lies.

My Soul can’t really love the way it wants to.

‘Cause I can’t give my Soul the

love it needs.

Deep in my heart,

I know that’s where I have to start.

But ‘till then, I guess the truth is that I

don’t really

love Me.

I want to open up,

To remember the way it felt

to love so openly. I

want to fill my cup So I can

give all the love that overflows in me.

I want to say “I love you”,

I want those words to be true.

But I need to learn to love me,

I know I need to love me.

I know I need to love me.

I need to learn to love me.

I know I need to love me.

I know I need to love me.

My Soul can’t really love the way it wants to.

‘Cause I can’t give my Soul the love it needs.

Deep in my heart,

I know that’s where I have to start.

But ‘till then,

I guess the truth is that I

don’t really

love Me.

But ‘till then, I guess the truth is that I don’t really

love Me.
