Self Love

Self love, Self love
Looking in the mirror it ain’t never been near like this
Self love, Self love
Looking in the mirror it ain’t never been clear like this. (x2)
Hard to love yourself when you’re trapped in your mind
To focus on your health but you’re wrapped in a bind
Thinking bout your past and it’s making you decline
Sinking in an hourglass but eventually you’ll climb
The thing about abuse is that it cuts you very deep
To the point that you can’t speak but inside you wanna scream
As a man you’re feeling weak, Yeah you’re strong with your physique
Yet you’re too much of a man to put your hand upon her cheek
When a push becomes a shove, A slap turns to a punch
You wonder what you’ve done, to make her wanna lunge
Nobody will believe you, Don’t know what’s going on
In the end you’re saying sorry as if you’re the one who’s wrong
Self love, Self love
Looking in the mirror it ain’t never been near like this
Self love, Self love
Looking in the mirror it ain’t never been clear like this. (x2)
Hard to trust somebody when you’re looking for the reasons
Last person that you believed in was creeping when you were sleeping
Cheating so deceiving, Lying yet you believed it
Trying to fight your demons and thoughts about getting even
Wished that you had seen it, Coming but you’re defeated
Running from how you’re treated and lies of you being needed
Start to feel conceited, Stomach is feeling squeamish
Heart plummets into the cement, with everything left beneath it
Has trauma got you bleeding? With everything you’ve been feeling
Can’t focus on the healing, instead you get to screaming
Neglect what you’ve been needing, pretend that you don’t need it
Then you started weeping, a friend has made you see it
Self love, Self love
Looking in the mirror it ain’t never been near like this
Self love, Self love
Looking in the mirror it ain’t never been clear like this. (x2)
