Love Yourself First
Embracing Self-Love: Unveiling the Depths of 'Love Yourself First'
Lyrics
Love turns you off like a lightbulb
Love can switch off your emotions abruptly.
In the darkness it seems plain to see
During tough times, clarity often emerges.
That you're healing from wounds
You're in a process of healing from emotional injuries.
I'm here too soon
The speaker arrived prematurely in your life.
Your heart is not ready for me
Your heart isn't prepared for a relationship.
Kindness burns your skin like a fire
Your past experiences with kindness have hurt you deeply.
So you starved my flames of air
The speaker's attempts to help were suffocated.
Scars from the past they
Scars from previous experiences take time to heal.
Never heal fast
The healing process isn't quick.
You're not ready to let me care
You're not emotionally prepared to accept care or love.
I'm not trying to sound like I'm preaching
The speaker doesn't intend to lecture or criticize.
You've got to forgive yourself
Forgiving yourself is crucial for progress.
It's the first step to letting in
Self-forgiveness is the initial step towards accepting someone new.
The right somebody else
Being open to a healthy relationship requires self-acceptance.
You've got to love yourself first
Prioritizing self-love is essential.
And I wish I could wait for you
The speaker wishes to wait but can't.
But I've got to go now and love myself too
The speaker must depart to prioritize their own self-care.
Your affection drew my affection
Your affection attracted the speaker's feelings.
My affection drove you away
The speaker's affection inadvertently pushed you away.
Like a bird in the night who
Similar to a bird longing for light, there's a desire for positivity.
Longs for the light but
Despite longing for positivity, actions lead elsewhere.
Flies West at the dawn of the day
Leaving when a new opportunity arises, akin to the dawn of a new day.
I craved to help you through the darkness
The speaker desired to support you during hardships.
You're right to push me away
You were correct in pushing the speaker away for your own growth.
Only you can walk the path
Your personal journey needs to be walked by you alone.
That leads you back my way
It's your journey that may eventually lead back to the speaker.
You've got to love yourself first
Emphasizing the importance of self-love.
And I wish I could wait for you
The speaker wishes to wait but is unable to.
But I've got to go now and love myself too
The speaker must prioritize self-love and leave.
I've got to go now and
Reiterating the necessity of departing for self-care and self-love.
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
