i don't love myself
Embracing Vulnerability: Ricky Jamaraz's Reflections on Self-Love
Lyrics
I don't wanna tell u how I feel
I'm hesitant to express my emotions to you
‘Cause I'm afraid that you will get the wrong idea about me
Fearful of being misunderstood
Don't want you thinking that I'm insecure
Avoiding the perception of insecurity
I am for sure, diluted, yes, I'm not the best
Admitting to personal flaws and imperfections
I want you to care
Desire for your concern and attention
‘Cause I can't care for myself
Unable to provide self-care
Oh no it happened again
Experiencing a recurring issue
I don't want another sympathetic friend
Unwilling to have another sympathetic friend
I don't love myself
Expressing a lack of self-love
So how can I expect to be loved by anyone else
Doubting the possibility of being loved by others
Please don't worry because I am fine
Reassuring others of well-being despite inner struggles
I just feel like a loner all of the time
Feeling consistently isolated and alone
Optimism is a trap, you see
Viewing optimism as deceptive
Optimism will be the death of me
Fearing that optimism might lead to personal downfall
I think it's going to my head, you know
Suspecting an ego-related issue
I just care so much about what she thinks about me
Valuing others' opinions too much
I'm obsessed
Admitting to obsession with someone
I bet now you think that I'm depressed
Anticipating the perception of depression
I bet you want me off your chest
Assuming others want emotional distance
I bet if you liked me then
Suggesting a change in feelings over time
You wouldn't fancy me now
Fearing that current perceptions would be different
Thats my curse, thats my game
Describing a personal curse or dilemma
Thats the way I like to play
Indicating a preferred approach to life
I like feel, I don't care what
Emphasizing the importance of emotions
Regret is easy, love is not
Contrasting the ease of regret with the difficulty of love
Oh no it happened again
Repeating a problematic situation
I don't want another sympathetic friend
Rejecting the idea of another sympathetic friend
I don't love myself
Reiterating a lack of self-love
So how can I expect to be loved by anyone else
Questioning the possibility of external love
Please don't worry because I am fine
Reassuring others of well-being despite inner struggles (repeated)
I just feel like a loner all of the time
Feeling consistently isolated and alone (repeated)
Optimism is a trap, you see
Viewing optimism as deceptive (repeated)
Optimism will be the death of me
Fearing that optimism might lead to personal downfall (repeated)
cnd I don't love myself
Emphasizing a continued lack of self-love
So how can I expect to be loved by anyone else
Questioning the possibility of external love (repeated)
