Note To Self
Bugg Lyrics

Girl, you've been forgetting
The woman addressed in this song has been neglecting to acknowledge her own inner worth

Just how special you really are
She possesses a unique beauty and value that she should recognize

And I try to remind you
The singer is attempting to help her understand her worth

Sometimes I can't find you
However, he is not always able to get through to her

But the truth is in your heart
Nevertheless, the woman already knows the truth about her own value

So write a note to yourself
The singer suggests that she should remind herself of her worth

Girl, don't beat yourself up
The woman should not be too hard on herself

Your best is good enough
The effort she puts in is already good and should not be judged harshly

So pick the pen up
She should take action to write the note to herself

A note to yourself
The note must be addressed to her own self

And don't be cruel,
The note should be a message of kindness and encouragement

'Cause things do happen
The woman may have experienced difficult circumstances in the past

And you know it's not your fault
However, these events were not caused by her own shortcomings

Don't cover your wounds with the salt
She should not exacerbate her own emotional pain by focusing on her mistakes

Girl, let me tell you what I see
The singer has a special perspective on her beauty and strengths

You've got to believe me
He urges her to trust his assessment of her worth

You're a thing of beauty
She embodies qualities of loveliness and grace

Girl, put it in an envelope
The note to herself should be treated with care

Put it in the post
The letter should be sent out into the world

It'll come back to your door
Eventually, the woman will see the worth in herself and receive the benefits of her self-affirmation

And read the note to yourself
She should read the note to herself when she needs a reminder of her own value
