Love Yourself
Dylan Scott Lyrics

For all the times that you rain on my parade
You have brought me down many times in the past.

And all the clubs you get in using my name
You do things to impress people using my identity.

You think you broke my heart, oh, girl for goodness' sake
You believed you have hurt me when that's not the case.

You think I'm crying on my own, but, I ain't
You may think that I am hurt and crying, but that's far from the truth

And I didn't wanna write a song
I didn't want to express my feelings in a song

'Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care, I don't, but
I don't want others to think that I still care about you, although the truth is different.

You still hit my phone up
You still contact me even though we are not together anymore

And, baby, I be movin' on
I am moving forward from our past relationship

And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back
You should be someone who I don't hold back from, but rather let go of

Maybe you should know that
You should be aware of this reality

My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
My mother dislikes you although she has a tendency to like everyone.

And I never like to admit that I was wrong
I do not frequently admit to my mistakes

And I've been so caught up in my job
I have been too preoccupied with my work to see what's been happening in our relationship

Didn't see what's going on
I wasn't aware of what was taking place

But now I know,
I have become aware now

I'm better sleeping on my own
It's better to be alone rather than being in a toxic relationship

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

Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself
You need to start loving yourself and not depend on someone else for your happiness.

And if you think that I'm still holdin' on To somethin', you should go and love yourself
If you think I still have lingering thoughts about us, then maybe you need to learn to love yourself first.

And 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
The issue wasn't with my friends, it was with you.

And every time you told me my opinion was wrong
Whenever you dismissed my ideas as foolish

And tried to make me forget where I came from
Whenever you tried to make me forget my past and where I come from.

For all the times that you made me feel small
For the number of times you made me feel insignificant and unimportant.

I fell in love now I feel nothin' at all
I fell in love with you, but now I feel nothing at all.

And never felt so low when I was vulnerable
When I was most vulnerable with you, I felt lower than ever.

Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?
Was it foolish of me to let you strip me of my defenses?

Love yourself
Start loving yourself

You should go and love yourself, yeah baby
You need to learn to love yourself

And if you think (you think) that I'm (that I'm) still holdin' on to somethin'
If you believe that I am still clutching onto our past relationship

You should go and love yourself
You need to learn to love yourself first.
