Lyrics
I can love me better than you can
I have the capacity to love myself more effectively than you can love me.
Make me feel so safe with my own two hands
Your presence makes me feel secure and confident using my own abilities.
I don't hold in emotions to prove that I'm the goddamn man
I don't suppress my emotions to prove my masculinity.
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
A reaffirmation that I can love myself better than your love for me.
You make me feel so inadequate
Your actions make me feel inadequate or insufficient.
Still I work on everything you criticize
Despite criticism, I continuously strive to improve myself.
You block me out, choosing everything over me
You exclude me, prioritizing everything else over our relationship.
Making me your very last priority
I am your lowest priority, and you neglect our connection.
And I've gotten so used to making excuses
I've become accustomed to justifying your negative actions.
For your shitty behavior
Expressing tolerance for your unpleasant behavior towards me.
And they say "hurt people hurt people"
Challenging the notion that your harmful actions are a result of being hurt.
As if your actions aren't choices you make
Rejecting the idea that your behavior is beyond your control.
I think that I can love me better than you can
Confident belief that I can love myself more effectively than you can.
Make me feel so safe with my own two hands
I find safety and security within myself, not relying on external validation.
I don't hold in emotions to prove that I'm the goddamn man
I don't hide my emotions to conform to societal expectations of masculinity.
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
A reiterated statement that self-love surpasses your love for me.
You made it look so easy
You effortlessly betrayed me repeatedly.
To sell me out over and over
You found it simple to shift blame onto me and avoid responsibility.
I guess it was easy to put all responsibilities on my shoulders
You assigned all responsibilities to me, making it seem easy.
Yeah, you blamed me for all your problems
You held me accountable for all your issues.
And I would say I'm sorry
I apologized even when it wasn't my fault.
Guess you always liked an obedient type
Your preference for a compliant partner.
Now you're someone else's problem
You are now someone else's problem.
When you see her at the office
Addressing your new relationship indirectly.
Why don't you tell her I'm doing just fine
Sarcastically suggesting I am doing well without you.
Cause I can love me better than you can
I am capable of loving myself more profoundly than you ever could.
Make me feel so safe with my own two hands
I find security within myself using my own abilities.
I don't hold in emotions to prove that I'm the goddamn man
I don't suppress my emotions to conform to societal norms.
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
A reaffirmation of self-love surpassing your love.
When you're face to face with your betrayal
Confronting the emotional impact of your betrayal.
From nine to five every day
Your betrayal occurs regularly during work hours.
Does it ever bother you?
Questioning if guilt or remorse ever affects you.
Is there a conscience behind your pretentious pride?
Asking if there is sincerity behind your false pride.
Guess what you never understood is that I loved you for your inside
Your true value lies in your character, not materialistic possessions.
Never cared about your money or the cars you drive
I valued you for who you are, not your wealth or status.
And you could've had me on your side
I was willing to support you throughout your life.
For the rest of your life
(Empty Line)
Now I love me better than you can
I have developed self-love superior to your capacity to love me.
Make me feel so safe with my own two hands
I find security within myself, not relying on external validation.
I don't hold in emotions to prove that I'm the goddamn man
I don't hide my emotions to conform to societal expectations.
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
A final declaration of self-love surpassing your love.
