Lyrics

Learn to Love Yourself

Why didn't I think that I deserved you?
Why didn't I expect the very best?
Why did I settle for broken promises and anything less than happiness?
And I blamed you for not believing in our love
But I'd already laid my expectations down
And I knew that hope would only raise me up to let me down

In my soul there was an echoing, "You deserve so much more.
The only way to grab a hold of love is to let your illusions go.
Let go of old beliefs that you're not good enough.
Let go of the child and the whore.
Let go of always searching outside of yourself
For something more."

I've grown older and I've grown wiser
And I'm so much stronger than before
And I have learned that you can't change a man
A man he changes on his own

And I've grown older and I've grown wiser
And I'm so much stronger than my old self
You can't expect someone to love you
If they haven't learned to love themselves
No, you can't expect someone to love you
If you don't learn to love yourself
