Self Love

(album: After The Butterflies - 2023)

I gave all of my love away
I thought that maybe it would bring some good to me
I sacrificed for those who wouldn't do the same
And it really caused me a lotta pain
And I realized that there was a change in me

Smiles started fading away and my skies were gray
Tried to please everybody around me, it consumed my days
I learned my lesson
Not to neglect the very one
Who I'm supposed to love on

Me, can't nobody love me like me
Can't no one fulfill all my needs
Like me
Gotta get back to me
Falling in love again but this time
I'm officially loving me

I made a vow that I'd put me first
No longer compromising my worth
And that goes for anyone without good intentions
One, two many times I've
Put my heart on the line

And I noticed
Smiles started fading away and my skies were gray
Tried to please everybody around me, it consumed my days
I learned my lesson
Not to neglect the very one
Who I'm supposed to love on

Me, can't nobody love me like me
Can't no one fulfill all my needs
Like me
Gotta get back to me
Falling in love again but this time
I'm officially loving me

Oh, I gotta love me, yeah-yeah
Oh, I gotta love me, yeah-yeah
