Testo Love Myself

"Why did you leave" I said
She replied "because you never spoke the truth"
"I did my best" I said
"I guess I never let the coloured light shine through
'Cause I was born with a diamond heart
But I was always too afraid to let it show"
She said "I would have loved you from the start
Until the end if you had only let me know"
"Well, I'm sorry I let you down
But I wish you could see me now"

Oh, 'cause I think I've had enough
Of trying to find love like it belongs to someone else
And after all the twists and turns, the bridges that I've burned
I think it's time I learned, I've gotta love myself
Hmm

"Let down your walls" he said
I explained that I felt safer on my own
I tried to hold my breath
'Til a scream escaped my lungs
One that began when I was younger 'Cause I was born with a redwood heart
But I was always too afraid to let it grow
I think it's time I went back to the start
I'll do it right this time, I'll let the colours show

Oh, 'cause I think I've had enough
Of trying to find love like it belongs to someone else
And after all the twists and turns, the bridges that I've burned
I think it's time I learned, I've gotta love myself
Oh-oh-oh-oh, gotta love myself

And I'm sorry it took so long
But I'm ready to sing my song

Ooh-ooh-ooh, gotta love myself
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I've gotta love myself
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I've gotta love myself
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I've gotta love myself
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, gotta love myself
Oh-ooh, I've gotta love myself, hmm
