i love me

I've been talking to the mirror like it's listening

Asking my reflection for forgiveness

Every scar got a story I was living in

Every tear was a lesson I was missing then

I was reaching for love with my hands out (mm)

Try to earn it, try to stand proud (mm)

But the truth came quiet like a slow sound (mm)

I don't need permission just to be found

I was breaking my own heart every night

Telling myself I wasn't doing it right

But I'm still here, yeah, I survived

Still breathing, still choosing life

I love me, I love me

Even when I don't feel worthy

I love me, I love me

When it's heavy, when it hurts me

I love me, I love me

No conditions, no jury

I love me, I love me

I stay, I stay, I stay with me, mm

Had to love, had to hold myself gently

Not everything broken needs fixing

Some days fade, just look like resting

Some nights peace feels like confession

I stopped running from my reflection

Stopped asking the world for directions

There's a light in me still protecting

Even when I've been down my ending

I forgive the girl I used to be

She was just tryin' to feel free

I don't need the crowd to agree

I'm enough when it's just me

I love me (I love me) I love me

Even when I don't feel worthy

I love me (I love me) I love me

When it's heavy, when it hurts me

I love me (I love me) I love me

No conditions, no jury

I love me (I love me) I love me

I stay, I stay, I stay with me

(I stay, I stay) (I stay, I stay)

Stay with me (I stay, I stay)

Oh, I stay (I stay, I stay)

I stay (I stay, I stay)

I stay (I stay, I stay)

I stay with me
