(“Love Starts With Me”) (Verse 1) I used to chase the stars in someone else’s eyes Trying to fix my heart by wearing a disguise Gave away my soul just to feel enough But empty hands can never hold real love I was waiting for somebody to save me While forgetting I was worth saving too Now I hear my own voice saying softly “You deserve the same love you give away” (Pre-Chorus) So I stopped running from the mirror Stopped hiding every scar The moment I chose myself Was the moment I found my heart (Chorus) ’Cause love starts with me Deep in my soul where I’m finally free If I can’t hold my own heart gently How could I love somebody completely? Now I put myself first without shame And somehow nothing feels the same When you love yourself honestly Real love comes naturally (Verse 2) I don’t need to beg for someone to stay The right kind of love will never fade away Now I walk taller, breathing in my truth Found the missing piece inside my youth I learned that lonely doesn’t mean broken Silence can heal what pain destroyed Every tear became a lesson spoken Now my heart is filled instead of void (Pre-Chorus) And every time I choose my peace I become stronger than before The love I searched for everywhere Was waiting behind my own door (Chorus) ’Cause love starts with me Deep in my soul where I’m finally free If I can’t hold my own heart gently How could I love somebody completely? Now I put myself first without shame And somehow nothing feels the same When you love yourself honestly Real love comes naturally (Bridge) I am enough without permission I am worthy without condition And when my soul shines fearlessly That’s when love finds me naturally (Final Chorus) Yeah, love starts with me No more losing who I’m meant to be Now I know my heart is sacred ground And true love grows from the love I found I put myself first and now I see The best kind of love lives inside of me When you love yourself honestly That’s when love comes naturally.
