Love Yourself
Academy Killer Lyrics

All the times that you rain on my parade
All the times that you have ruined my happiness and excitement

And all the clubs you get in using my name
When you use my name to gain access to exclusive clubs

You think you broke my heart
You believe that you have damaged my emotional well-being

Ohhh girl for goodness sake
Oh my goodness, come on

You think I′m crying
You believe that I am shedding tears over you

Oh my ohhh, well I ain't!
But in reality, I am not crying at all

And I didn’t wanna write a song
I didn't want to write a song about you at all

'Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care, I don't
Because I do not want anyone to think that I still have feelings for you

But, you still hit my phone up
Yet, you still contact me

And baby I be moving on
But I am moving on from our past relationship

And I think you should be somethin′ I don't wanna hold back
I think that you should pursue your own future and I don't want to hold you back

Maybe you should know that
Perhaps you should be aware of this fact

My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
My mother doesn't approve of you, but she likes everyone else

And I never like to admit that I was wrong
I never enjoy admitting to my mistakes

And I′ve been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on
I have been very focused on my job and haven't paid attention to my personal life

But now I know
But now I understand the reality of the situation

I'm better sleeping on my own
I am better off sleeping alone

'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Because if you are so obsessed with your appearance

Ohhhh baby you should go and love yourself
Then you should focus on self-love and not rely on others for validation

And if you think that I′m still holdin′ on to somethin'
And if you believe that I am still attached to our relationship

You should go and love yourself
Then you should focus on self-love and move on from me

When you told me that you hated my friends
When you expressed your dislike for my friends

The only problem was with you and not them
But the issue was actually with you and not my friends

And every time you told me my opinion was wrong
And every time you undermined my beliefs and thoughts

And tried to make me forget where I came from
And attempted to erase my roots and background

For all the times that you made me feel small
For all the instances where you made me feel insignificant

I fell in love now I fear nothin' at all
I have experienced love and now fear nothing

I never felt so low when I was vulnerable
I have never felt so weak and helpless in my life

Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?
Was I foolish to allow you to break through my emotional barriers and hurt me?
