Learn to Love me

Verse 1 I used to dive in headfirst blind Calling chaos butterflies Thought if someone held me tight It would quiet all the noise inside I wore their love like borrowed skin Hoping it would make me whole But every time I let them in I disappeared a little more Pre-Chorus I was searching in their eyes For something I had to find in mine Chorus I’m not ready for your love yet Not until I’m strong alone I can’t build a home in someone else When I’m still lost in my own It’s not you, it’s truth I’m facing I’ve got healing left to do If I ever give my heart away It won’t be to escape into you I’m not ready for forever Till I learn to stand on my own two feet I gotta learn to love me Verse 2 I used to think that being saved Looked like someone choosing me But rescue never healed the ache It just dressed up dependency Now I’m sitting with my flaws Letting silence teach me strength Learning I don’t need applause To know I’m worthy as I am Pre-Chorus I’m not lonely, I’m becoming Someone I won’t abandon Chorus I’m not ready for your love yet Not until I’m strong alone I can’t build a home in someone else When I’m still lost in my own It’s not you, it’s truth I’m facing I’ve got healing left to do If I ever give my heart away It won’t be to disappear in you I’m not ready for forever Till I know my soul can stand complete I gotta learn to love me Bridge So let me grow, let me fall Let me learn to hold it all Every scar Im finally claiming Is one less place that needs your name I don’t need a hand to hold Just to keep me from the dark I need to know that when love arrives I’m bringing with it my whole heart Final Chorus I’m not ready for your love yet Not until I’m strong alone I can’t build a home in someone else When I’m still lost in my own It’s not you, it’s truth I’m facing I’ve got healing left to do If I ever give my heart away It won’t be to escape into you I’m not ready for forever Till I learn to stand on my own two feet I gotta learn to love me first.... (musical breakdown then Final chorus I’ll be ready for love someday When I don’t need it just to breathe When I can give without losing Pieces of what makes me me And when that day finally finds me I won’t be searching, I’ll be sure Love will meet a heart that’s steady Whole, awake, and open at the core I’ll be ready for forever But right now I’m learning to be free I’m learning how to love me...First
