[Intro: piano, deep breath] [Verse 1] I saved my nights for everybody Kept my mornings open wide If somebody needed something I would move myself aside Then one day I met the silence And it asked me where I’d been I had made room for every person Except the one beneath my skin [Chorus] I NEED TO BELONG TO MYSELF TOO NOT ONLY TO THE ONES I LOVE I need hours nobody owns A little sky nobody touches I can give you all my kindness Without surrendering my name I need to be somebody When nobody calls my name [Bridge] Self-love isn’t subtraction It isn’t taking yours away It’s remembering I’m a person I must also choose each day [Final Chorus] I NEED TO BELONG TO MYSELF TOO SO I HAVE SOME SELF TO GIVE I don’t want to love by vanishing I want both of us to live [Outro] Tonight I’m keeping me.
