First Love Myself

(hmmm, mmm) I spent too many nights rewriting my own pages

Trying to fit in lines written by strangers

But the ink has run dry

And I'm finally asking why

I was looking for a hand to hold To keep me from

the biting cold But the warmth I needed most Was right here

in my own bones

I've got to learn to love myself

Before I try to love someone else

Build a home inside my own skin

And let the quiet healing begin (oh,

heal within)

Now the mirror shows a face I finally recognize

No more searching for approval in another's eyes

Every scar is a line Of a story that is mine

I've got to learn to love myself

Before I try to love someone else

Build a home inside my own skin

And let the quiet healing begin (yeah,

heal within)

Before I love

someone else... (hmmm) I'm coming home to myself
