I used to wonder why you don’t text back every day

Til you told me it’s cause you can’t keep up with my brain

And silly old me probably used to think that i should change

But these days i know someone will love the things that you hate

I’m learning to love me like i wanna be loved

And choose me like i want to be chosen

Because who’s gonna like me if i don’t like all of myself

And i’m gonna tell me when i think i’m pretty

And i’m going to love every second that’s with me

I’m going to read every book about me on the shelf

Until i can find myself help

I used to call you so you knew how great i had been

Just to hear you say you thought i deserved a win

And i try to stop talking when i know there’s nothing to say

But i see your eyes and no silence can’t keep me away

I’m learning to love me like i want to be loved

And choose me like i want to be chosen

Because he was going to like me if i don’t like all of myself

And i’m gonna tell me when i think i’m pretty

And i’m gonna love every second that’s with me

And i’m going to read every book about me on the shelf

Until i can find my self - help

I know that i try to hard to explain why you left

And i try to remind me im worth every dime that you spent

And even if you never choose to acknowledge my pain

I don’t need i’m sorry to believe that i was worth the wait
