i love me

I've been talking to the mirror like it's listening
Asking my reflection for forgiveness
Every scar got a story I was living in
Every tear was a lesson I was missing then
I was reaching for love with my hands out
Try to earn it, try to stand proud
But the truth came quiet like a slow sound
I don't need permission just to be found
I was breaking my own heart every night
Telling myself I wasn't doing it right
But I'm still here, yeah I survived
Still breathing, still choosing life

I love me, I love me
Even when I don't feel worthy
I love me, I love me
When it's heavy, when it hurts me
I love me, I love me
No conditions, no jury
I love me, I love me
I stay, I stay, I stay with me

Had to love, had to hold myself gently
Not everything broken needs fixing
Some days fade just look like resting
Some nights peace feels like confession
I stopped running from my reflection
Stopped asking the world for directions
There's a light in me still protecting
Even when I've been down my ending
I forgive the girl I used to be
She was just trying to feel free
I don't need the crowd to agree
I'm enough when it's just me

I love me, I love me
Even when I don't feel worthy
I love me, I love me
When it's heavy, when it hurts me
I love me, I love me
No conditions, no jury
I love me (I love me) I love me
I stay, I stay, I stay with me
(I stay, I stay) (I stay, I stay)
Stay With me (I stay, I stay)
Oh I stay (I stay, I stay)
I stay (I stay, I stay)
I stay (I stay, I stay)
I stay with me
