Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
now we have reached the end but I'm alright.
I don't have to wonder why
ohhh I won't cry
Cause baby now I realize
I'm gonna love me the way I loved you
deserve it more than you ever did.
I'm gonna love me the way I loved you,
Love me love me ah
I'm gonna love me love me ah
Love me love me ah
tonight I'm dancing you out my head.
Wasted time on someone else
I've waited my whole life to made myself.
Now I'm dancing to rhythm of my heartbeat.
ohhh now I see
I'm everything I'll ever need.
I'm gonna love me the way I loved you
deserve it more than you ever did.
I'm gonna love me the way I loved you,
tonight I'm dancing you out my head.
Love me love me ah
I'm gonna love me love me ah
