Love turns you off like a lightbulb
In the darkness it seems plain to see
That you're healing from wounds
I'm here too soon
Your heart is not ready for me
Kindness burns your skin like a fire
So you starved my flames of air
Scars from the past they
Never heal fast
You're not ready to let me care
I'm not trying to sound like I'm preaching
You've got to forgive yourself
It's the first step to letting in
The right somebody else
You've got to love yourself first
And I wish I could wait for you
But I've got to go now and
Love myself too
Your affection drew my affection
My affection drove you away
Like a bird in the night who
Longs for the light but
Flies West at the dawn of the day
I craved to help you through the darkness
You're right to push me away
Only you can walk the path
That leads you back my way
You've got to love yourself first
And I wish I could wait for you
But I've got to go now and
Love myself too
I've got to go now and
Love myself too
I've got to go now and
I've got to go now and
I've got to go now and
Love myself too
