Learning to Love Myself

I was drowning in the silence

Lost inside my mind

Wearing every scar like armor

Pretending I was fine

Then you found me in the darkness

Reached out your hand to mine

Whispered words I never knew I needed

"You gotta love yourself this time"

You told me to love myself

When I forgot how to believe

You showed me the light I couldn't see

Now I'm finding strength inside of me

I'm learning to love myself

Step by step, breath by breath

Your words are the reason I began

To see who I am

Now I'm standing in the mirror

And I see a different face

Not just the cracks and all the failures

But a heart that's found its place

Every broken piece you mended

With the kindness in your eyes

I'm learning how to love the girl

I kept hidden deep inside

You told me to love myself

When I forgot how to believe

You showed me the light I couldn't see

Now I'm finding strength inside of me

I'm learning to love myself

Step by step, breath by breath

Your words are the reason I began

To see who I am

It’s not easy, some days I fall

But I hear your voice through it all

Saying “You are more than all your scars”

And now I know... you were right from the start

You told me to love myself

When I forgot how to believe

You showed me the light I couldn't see

Now I'm finding strength inside of me

I'm learning to love myself

Step by step, breath by breath

Your words are the reason I began

To see who I am

I'm learning to love myself...

Because you believed in me.
