๐ Lyrics
I need to learn how to love myself
If I don't, then no one will
My friends call me often, I have a problem
My own skin is a place I don't know, the mirrors are hauntin'
You know I don't wanna be grim
But if I do not help me, the world I'll envy
The cold gets colder and I can't stop shaking
The walls get closer and I can't stop pacing
I need time to be away from everything
But I do not trust me with my own well-being
I'm far from perfect, don't call me your idol
I'm always searchin' for answers from my own survival
I need to learn how to love myself
If I don't, then no one will
I keep my hands around my throat
I squeeze 'til I choke, I need to stay so I can learn how to heal
I need to learn how to love myself
If I don't, then no one will
I keep my hands around my throat
I'll squeeze 'til I choke, I need to stay so I can learn how to heal
It could be any day now
It could be any day now
It could be any day now (day now)
It could be any day
But not today, oh, not today
I wanna break through and escape
These chains I made, my mind a maze
So I will take what I can take
Thought these emotions were a phase
My bones could break from all the pain
I put myself through every day
But not today, oh, not today!
I need to learn how to love myself
If I don't, then no one will
I keep my hands around my throat
I squeeze 'til I choke, I need to stay so I can learn how to heal
Back then, I was never complacent
I had a dream and I even chased it
I had a heart inside of my chest
And it beat with the love of everyone I met
If I met me now, would I be my friend?
These wounds won't heal 'til I make amends
With every word that I ever said
To myself that make me lose my head
If I don't, then no one will
My friends call me often, I have a problem
My own skin is a place I don't know, the mirrors are hauntin'
You know I don't wanna be grim
But if I do not help me, the world I'll envy
The cold gets colder and I can't stop shaking
The walls get closer and I can't stop pacing
I need time to be away from everything
But I do not trust me with my own well-being
I'm far from perfect, don't call me your idol
I'm always searchin' for answers from my own survival
I need to learn how to love myself
If I don't, then no one will
I keep my hands around my throat
I squeeze 'til I choke, I need to stay so I can learn how to heal
I need to learn how to love myself
If I don't, then no one will
I keep my hands around my throat
I'll squeeze 'til I choke, I need to stay so I can learn how to heal
It could be any day now
It could be any day now
It could be any day now (day now)
It could be any day
But not today, oh, not today
I wanna break through and escape
These chains I made, my mind a maze
So I will take what I can take
Thought these emotions were a phase
My bones could break from all the pain
I put myself through every day
But not today, oh, not today!
I need to learn how to love myself
If I don't, then no one will
I keep my hands around my throat
I squeeze 'til I choke, I need to stay so I can learn how to heal
Back then, I was never complacent
I had a dream and I even chased it
I had a heart inside of my chest
And it beat with the love of everyone I met
If I met me now, would I be my friend?
These wounds won't heal 'til I make amends
With every word that I ever said
To myself that make me lose my head
