Please love yourself don’t be unkind
You always say sorry first in line
Even your breathing stays soft and low
You give your light to everyone
While hiding your tired soul at night alone
You say “I’m not that good at all”
Every smile still holds a fall
But I’ve seen the way you love so true
How bright you shine when your heart comes through
More complete than tomorrow ever knew
Love yourself well
The way I love you inside my world
Every inch of fear every scar you feel
Is a version of you that deserves to be held
You mean so much to me
So please take pride in who you are you see
I cherish this love
More than regret or what we lost because
So I’m asking you
Put yourself first the way you should
Sometimes you ask me
“What if one day I’m worth nothing won’t you leave”
I wish I could take those words away
So they never reach your ears again
You don’t even know your name
Is carved into my everyday
Even on the darkest day
I still want to walk with you all the way
Not watch you slowly give yourself away
If someday we argue into silence
I hope you’ll still remember this
It’s not about who lost or won
We both deserve to be held with care
Not broken down by what we’ve become
Love yourself well
The way I love you inside my world
Every tear you cry every doubt inside
Is telling you not to question your worth
You mean so much to me
So please take pride in who you are you see
I’ll stay by your side
Rewrite the words where you’ve been too unkind
Because I love you
I need you to learn to love you too
Promise me this
Next time you soften be kind to yourself first
The moment you finally learn to hold your own heart
You’ll understand
How deeply I loved what we had
And how hard I tried
To lead you back into the light
