Deepest Self-Love

How many times have you forgotten who you are just to keep somebody smiling?
It's not easy loving yourself when the world keeps telling you that you're not enough
It's so cold, it's so unfair
But is this me?
If I have to lose myself, I don't want it anymore
I was a voice with no sound
Always trying to make everybody proud
Hiding all the pieces of me that I was too afraid to show
Ah-ah-ah-ah
My heart, please come back home
So many times I put everybody else first
Even when my own heart was the one that was hurting
And I never understood the damage I did to myself
It's painful, it's painful
So many dreams I had to leave behind
Just to fit inside a world that was never really mine
But now I know I deserve more than this
(Self-love, lo-lo-lo-lo-love myself)
(Self-love, lo-lo-lo-lo-love myself)
(Self-love, lo-lo-lo-lo-love myself)
(Self-love, lo-lo-lo-lo-love myself)
Yeah, I lost myself for a while
Wore a fake little smile just to make it through the night
I carried everybody's expectations like they were written in my soul
But lately, I don't need their approval anymore
Oh, baby
I'm learning how to love me
So many times I put everybody else first
Even when my own heart was the one that was hurting
And I never understood the damage I did to myself
It's painful, it's painful
So many dreams I had to leave behind
Just to fit inside a world that was never really mine
But now I know I deserve more than this
(Self-love, lo-lo-lo-lo-love myself)
(Self-love, lo-lo-lo-lo-love myself)
(Self-love, lo-lo-lo-lo-love myself)
(Self-love, lo-lo-lo-lo-love myself)
I was a voice that I silenced
I was the love I kept denying
Always searching for a reason to believe that I was worth it
Ah-ah-ah-ah
My heart, I'm here to stay
No more begging to be chosen
No more leaving myself broken
I can love you, I can lose you, but I won't lose me again
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm finally enough for me
So many times I put everybody else first (everybody else, eeh)
Even when my own heart was the one that was hurting
And I never (I never, eh) understood the damage I did to myself
It's painful, it's painful (but I know, eeh)
So many dreams I had to leave behind
Just to fit inside a world that was never really mine (ooh)
But now I know I deserve more than this (than this)
(Self-love, lo-lo-lo-lo-love myself)
I, I do
(Self-love, lo-lo-lo-lo-love myself)
I, I do, do, do, do, whoa-ooh
(Self-love, lo-lo-lo-lo-love myself)
I, I, I, I, I do, whoa
(Self-love, lo-lo-lo-lo-love myself)
I, I do
I am enough
I was enough all along
(Self-love, lo-lo-lo-lo-love myself)
Deepest self-love
I found my way back home
I, I do
I finally love myself
