Love Yourself 2 - Phora.mp3

[00:18.278] Yeah
[00:21.220] Why do we try to protect our hearts by pretending we don't have one?
[00:24.890] Try to escape from my fears, but we can't run
[00:27.532] Seems like we were drownin' from the start
[00:30.067] And this void in my heart is still as empty as the last one
[00:32.571] I know some people who get numb just to cope with they feelings
[00:35.586] I know some people broke inside even though they make millions
[00:38.318] I know some people stuck with someone they couldn't be real with
[00:41.062] I know some people hurt themselves when they supposed to be healin'
[00:43.861] So you hide your scars still hopin' you're worth it, but
[00:46.568] You were born to be real, not to be perfect, look
[00:49.262] I still question myself and I'm still searchin' for
[00:51.774] A perfect world where none of us feel worthless, look
[00:54.955] Music reminds me that pain is temporary
[00:57.334] Flowers remind me that rain is necessary
[01:00.379] I used to hold on to all of the trauma of people who weighed me down, now those memories are dead and buried (Mmm)
[01:05.536] There's beauty in lettin' go
[01:08.378] They say if you never try, then you'll never know
[01:11.185] I know what it's like to feel your heart gettin' cold
[01:13.802] Like the house that you livin' in that was never home
[01:16.430] Struggled as a kid, you was losin' focus
[01:18.336] Scars on your body from the people closest
[01:21.594] Pops wasn't around, teachers didn't notice
[01:23.950] That kid walkin' through the hallways feelin' hopeless
[01:26.858] No one notices your tears, no one notices your face
[01:29.425] No one notices your pain, but they notice your mistakes
[01:32.245] I know how it feels to be the one that was replaced
[01:34.880] And I know how it feels to wear these scars that don't erase
[01:37.914] And you feel like you alone in a crowd, uh
[01:40.050] Yellin' as loud as you can, seems like no one's hearin' a sound
[01:43.064] And I think I learned to get along with loneliness now
[01:45.874] But it's just hard to let anybody close to me now
[01:48.547] I mean, it's like nobody cares, this life just isn't fair
[01:51.942] And someone said that we repeat what we don't repair
[01:54.456] Sometimes we fall apart, sometimes we lose our heart
[01:57.301] When you can't find the light, I'll sit with you in the dark
[02:00.037] I learned to love myself when I'm tired
[02:02.041] I learned to love myself when I'm weak
[02:03.854] I learned to love myself when I'm incomplete
[02:05.681] For so long I just thought I wasn't able to
[02:07.974] And sometimes, yeah, I know it feels the same for you
[02:10.917] Yeah, sometimes, yeah, I know it feels the same for you
[02:16.835] Yeah, uh, sometimes
[02:20.536] They say if you wanna fly you gotta lose everything that weighs you down
[02:24.926] Used to get attached to those who couldn't stay around
[02:27.776] I used to give my heart away until it faded out
[02:30.005] Used to complain 'bout all the things I shoulda prayed about
[02:32.491] They called me 'sinner', they put me down, but I'm God's child
[02:34.980] Tried to be positive, I was just never taught how
[02:37.829] I lost my confidence walkin' 'round with a dark cloud
[02:40.627] Thinkin' no one ever loved me, why would they start now?
[02:43.671] Forgive the people who didn't know how to love you
[02:46.155] They were just teaching you how to love yourself, damn
[02:49.504] And I think life hit me the hardest the day I learned I loved somebody who loves someone else, well
[02:55.471] We let people in who don't deserve to stay
[02:57.576] And forgive the ones that hurt us, made us feel betrayed
[03:00.351] And sometimes we forget that we blessed to live another day
[03:02.606] I'm just scared I'll never find a way
[03:05.080] There was times darkness covered the light from my soul like an eclipse
[03:07.996] I studied the moon and how it glows and I'm convinced
[03:10.629] Sometimes we shine brighter in the darkness
[03:13.003] And I learned that it's not over when you lose, it's only over when you quit
[03:16.352] Sometimes I wanna talk to grandpa, wish that I could
[03:18.838] Maybe I'd learn that it's okay to still be misunderstood
[03:21.427] Maybe he'd show me how to balance out the bad with the good
[03:24.116] Sometimes it's hard to show emotions when I know that I should, but
[03:27.026] I hope he's proud of me although he's not around
[03:30.184] I know his soul is in the sky, somewhere he's smilin' down
[03:32.897] And sometimes it reminds me to breathe when I'm 'bout to drown
[03:35.554] Sometimes I stare up at the stars and it calms me down
[03:38.277] But I learned to thank God for what He gave me
[03:40.694] There was a point where I thought nobody could save me
[03:43.405] There was a point where the Devil kept tryna break me
[03:46.247] But I picked myself up every time and that's what made me
[03:49.091] See, I learned to love myself when I'm tired
[03:50.919] I learned to love myself when I'm weak
[03:52.955] I learned to love myself when I'm incomplete
[03:54.614] For so long I just thought I wasn't able to
[03:56.959] Sometimes, yeah, look
[03:59.092] I said, I learned to love myself when I'm tired
[04:01.705] I learned to love myself when I'm weak
[04:03.838] I learned to love myself when I'm incomplete
[04:05.689] For so long I just thought I wasn't able to
[04:08.024] Sometimes, yeah, I know it feels the same for you
[04:11.613] Yours Truly
