I've Got Me
Embracing Self-Discovery: I've Got Me by Joanna Sternberg
Lyrics
I've got me in the morning
I find comfort in myself in the morning.
I've got me in the evening
I find comfort in myself in the evening.
I'll let you be because
I'll leave you alone because I have myself.
I've got me
Emphasizing self-reliance, I have myself.
And all my faults and flaws and lies
I acknowledge my faults, flaws, and lies are my own responsibility.
Are no one's fault but mine
Taking ownership, no one else is to blame for my mistakes.
Between self-hatred and self-awareness
Exploring the thin line between self-hatred and self-awareness.
Is a very small thin line
Highlighting the delicate balance between self-loathing and self-understanding.
I can't stop my worry, and my fury
Expressing difficulty in controlling worry and anger about past mistakes.
Of all that I've done wrong
Reflecting on the regret of things done wrong in the past.
I waste so much time I mean it
Admitting to wasting a significant amount of time.
So much time
Emphasizing the extent of time wasted.
I've got me in the morning
Reiterating self-reliance in the morning.
I've got me in the evening
Reiterating self-reliance in the evening.
I'll let you be because
Choosing solitude because of self-sufficiency.
I've got me
Reaffirming the importance of having oneself.
Why is it so hard to be kind and gentle to myself?
Questioning the difficulty of being kind and gentle to oneself.
Take the box of self-deprecation
Suggesting to set aside self-deprecating thoughts.
Lock it and put it on the shelf
Encouraging to lock away self-deprecation and move on.
Then wait five days, take that box
Suggesting a brief period of reflection before discarding self-deprecation.
Throw it in the fire
Making a decisive move to eliminate self-deprecating thoughts.
Maybe one day
Expressing hope for a better future without self-deprecation.
Oh, yeah
Anticipating a positive change.
One fine day
Looking forward to a better future.
I've got me in the morning
Reaffirming self-reliance in the morning.
I've got me in the evening
Reaffirming self-reliance in the evening.
I'll let you be because
Choosing solitude because it's evident that I have myself.
It's plain to see, oh, yeah
Emphasizing the clarity of having oneself.
I've got, I've got
Asserting the possession of oneself.
I've got me
Reiterating the importance of having oneself.
