[Verse 1] You used to laugh when I tripped on my pride Now I see the joke was on me Gave you my time Gave you all of my light You left me standing on empty You called it love but you loved the attention Every moment Just feeding your reflection Now I’m walking out of your reflection Stepping in my own direction [Chorus] I gotta love myself again Hold my own heart in these two hands You broke me down But I understand You can keep your sorrys I’ll take my plans I gotta love myself again From the roots right up to the crown You had your chance You let me drown Now I rise up I hold me down [Verse 2] All of my friends They were trying to warn me Said your smile never reached your eyes I made excuses I carried your storms Let them pour all over my life You turned my scars into private jokes Made my soft heart feel like a heavy stone Now I’m done playing the clown for you I’ll be tender with myself alone [Chorus] I gotta love myself again Hold my own heart in these two hands You broke me down But I understand You can keep your sorrys I’ll take my plans I gotta love myself again From the roots right up to the crown You had your chance You let me drown Now I rise up I hold me down [Bridge] You said I’m hard to love But that was you talking Projecting every wound you hide I’ll take my truth and keep on walking ’Cause I found better on the inside (inside) [Chorus] I gotta love myself again Hold my own heart in these two hands You broke me down But I understand You can keep your sorrys I’ll take my plans I gotta love myself again From the roots right up to the crown You had your chance You let me drown Now I rise up I hold me down
