Someone Else

Staring in the mirror, a stranger's face I see (me)
Lost in self-doubt, can't break free
Trying to connect, but my heart's a stone (oh)
Feeling so alone, I'm wandering on

How can I love another, when I can't love me? (love me)
Lost in the shadows, can't you see? (can't you see)

You gotta, oohh, love yourself before you love someone else
It's the foundation, the key to happiness
Look deep inside (inside your heart), find your worth
And then you'll see the beauty of you'll really be

Chasing love in all the wrong places
Building castles on shifting sands
Hurt and pain, a heavy weight
Can't escape this desolate state

You gotta, oohh, love yourself before you love someone else
It's the foundation, the key to happiness
Look deep inside (inside your heart), find your worth
And then you'll see the beauty of you'll really be

But I'm learning to heal, to let go of the past
To find my strength, to finally last
Loving myself, one step at a time
I'll find my way, and shine so bright

How can I love another, when I can't love me? (love me)
Lost in the shadows, can't you see? (can't you see)

You gotta, oohh, love yourself before you love someone else
It's the foundation, the key to happiness
Look deep inside (inside your heart), find your worth
And then you'll see the beauty of this earth
You gotta, oohh, love yourself before you love someone else
It's the foundation, the key to happiness
Look deep inside (inside your heart), find your worth
And then you'll see the beauty of you'll really be
