Love Myself

de Olivia O'Brien

Why is it so hard to just be myself?
I feel like I’m different from everyone else, yeah
Why am I like this, can somebody please tell me?
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
I don’t really know who’s looking back at me
I don’t even know who I want to be

I don’t need to know who I am yet
I don’t need to have a solid plan yet
I don’t need to be the same as everyone else
I just need to motherfucking love myself

I need to, I need to love myself
I need to, I need to love myself
I need to love myself, I need to love myself
Before I love anyone else

No matter how hard I try or what I do
I just can never fucking impress you
So why am I letting what you say bring me down?
I spent my whole life thinking I was wrong
And nobody likes me and it’s all my fault
But I’m done with that shit I finally figured out

I don’t need to be the same as everyone else
I just need to motherfucking love myself

I need to, I need to love myself
I need to, I need to love myself
I need to love myself, I need to love myself
Before I love anyone else
I need to
And I don’t need your help
I need to, I need to
Just fucking love myself
I need to, before I love anyone else
I need to just fucking love myself, oh no
Love myself, love myself

People are constantly judging and eyeing and plotting and lying
So why am I trying?
They’re all gonna talk shit anyway
They’re all gonna say what they wanna say
They’re all gonna say what they wanna say anyway

That’s why I need to
I need to love myself
I need to, I need to, I need to love myself
I need to, I need to love myself
I need to love myself
Before I love anyone else
I need to
And I don’t need your help
I need to (I need to love myself), I need to (love myself)
Just fucking love myself (love myself)
I need to (I need to love myself), before I love anyone else (I need to love myself)
I need to just fucking love myself, oh no
