[Verse] I see a shadow in the mirror's face A stranger's eyes in a crowded space Who taught me the rules of this cruel race? [Prechorus] But the heart keeps beating It won't stay still It whispers softly Bend but don't kill [Chorus] I learn to love myself Piece by piece Stitch the cracks Let the pain release It ain't perfect But it feels so real I learn to love myself That's the deal [Verse 2] I count my scars like they tell a tale Every fall and stumble Every time I failed The world won't cheer But I'll prevail [Prechorus] 'Cause the fire's burning It lights my way I fall I rise I face each day [Chorus] I learn to love myself Piece by piece Stitch the cracks Let the pain release It ain't perfect But it feels so real I learn to love myself That's the deal
