What has your heart been like?
You used to spend weeks on my mind
But it's been seven months of these lies
You know it hasn't felt right
I need to be loved by myself
Before I'll love someone else
And that's not you
That's not you anymore
I'm just tryna live with myself
And you have to do that as well
My heart aches to see you like this
Pretending it's me that you'll miss
You need to be loved by yourself
It's okay to ask for help
But not from me
Not from me anymore, oh, oh
I need to be loved by myself
It's okay to ask for help
Not from you, not from you anymore
I started to take my advice
I'm still stayin' out late at night
But now I'm not worried 'bout fights
Or if I've said something you don't like
Just being in love with myself
With you it was something else
You're not for me, me
I couldn't take it no more
Let me free, I'll close the door
It was killing me, it was killing me, it was killing me
Now, I can see what was left
It weighs heavy on my chest
It was killing me, it was killing me, it was killing me
Now that we've said our goodbyes
I see you in all that's alive
Your voice still haunts me at night
But this time it don't make me cry (cry, cry)
Just tryna be real with myself
Love can sometimes hurt like hell
Just let it be, just let it be, just let it be
I couldn't take it no more
Let me free, I'll close the door
It was killing me, it was killing me, it was killing me
Now, I can see what was left
It weighs heavy on my chest
It was killing me, it was killing me, it was killing me
I need to be loved by myself
Before I'll love someone else
And that's not you
That's not you anymore
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ah-ah-ah (ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh), ah-ah-ah
