I & I… Love Thy Brother... but Yourself First

I & I… Mmh-mmh… Love yourself, love yourself… Been walkin’ through the fire with my heart in my hand, Givin’ every little piece to people who don’t understand. But the mirror never lies, it shows the truth inside — If you don’t carry love for you, you got nothin’ to provide. I & I… love yourself first, Before you give your heart and end up hurt. I & I… heal your own soul, ’Cause only when you’re whole can you make another whole. Too many nights I tried to fill my emptiness with “we”, But you can drown inside the ocean tryin’ to set somebody free. So now I’m learnin’ how to rise, how to breathe, how to stand — Lovin’ me ain’t selfish, it’s the start of the plan. I & I… love yourself first, Before you give your heart and end up hurt. I & I… heal your own soul, ’Cause only when you’re whole can you make another whole. No more lookin’ for salvation in somebody’s eyes, No more givin’ all my sunshine just to live in their skies. I’m buildin’ love within my chest like a holy fire — Now the love I give is higher, pure and never tired. I & I… yeah, love yourself… I & I… before you love another… I & I… love yourself first… ’Cause that’s the only way to truly love another.
