'Cause on my own I just can't do it
You gotta find my voice and my poems pretty
You gotta keep your hand in mine when I look pale
Tell me it'll work out and there won't be any problem
Why do I always need somebody to validate me
To think I'm nice, to think I'm gorgeous
I'm scared of opinions, of hearts that get damaged
Of not being in the loop anymore
I'm scared I won't be the same anymore
That you'll dump me for the next girl
That I'll be nothing but a stranger
You gotta love me, or what do I do
You gotta love me, I just can't manage
Otherwise I'm losing my footing
I don't know where to go or even my own name
You gotta love me, or what do I do?
You gotta love me, I just can't manage
You gotta love me, it's crazy
You gotta love me harder than I love myself
Harder than I love myself
You gotta believe in me more than I do
Otherwise my heart ain't calm
When I don't even know how to dress
When I don't believe in what I do anymore
When I feel like I'm failing at everything
When I feel like sh*t
I'm scared I won't be the same anymore
That you'll dump me for the next girl
When I'm nothing but a stranger anymore
You gotta love me, or what do I do
You gotta love me, I just can't manage
Otherwise I'm losing my footing
I don't know where to go or even my own name
You gotta love me, or what do I do?
You gotta love me, I just can't manage
You gotta love me, it's crazy
You gotta believe in me more than I do
Why do I only notice the thumbs down, the nasty demons?
Why can't I hear right when you say 'it's good'
Why do I hear 'it sucks' when you say 'it's great'
Why am I always waiting for permission?
Why's there no trust in my house?
Why am I always trying to please?
Tell me you're like that too
You gotta love me, or what do I do
You gotta love me, I just can't manage
Otherwise I'm losing my footing
I don't know where to go or even my own name
You gotta love me, or what do I do?
You gotta love me, I just can't manage
You gotta love me, it's crazy
You gotta love me harder than I love myself
Harder than I love myself
You gotta believe in me more than I do
