Myself
Zach Diamond Lyrics

Girl, I can′t love you if I don't love myself
The singer cannot love the girl he is addressing if he does not have love and care for himself

Each day I wake up wish I′m someone else

How can I love somebody else When I don′t even love myself?

The closer that you get to someone The more they can hurt you Now I'm trying to find my purpose But I′m still searching And I can't lie, on the inside I′m hurting
The closer you get to someone, the more vulnerable you become, which can lead to more pain. The artist is currently searching for his purpose but acknowledges that he is hurting inside.

Every day feels the same When am I going to learn? Played with fire for so long No wonder I'm getting burned No wonder I'm feeling hurt
The singer's days seem unchanging, and he wonders when he will learn from his mistakes. He admits to playing with fire for so long that it is understandable he is getting burned and hurting.

My past is coming at me And then I wonder why I′m not actually happy Even when I feel happy It′s like something is missing There's still this emptiness I feel

Everything feels different, but I put my life inside every word We only accept the love that we think we deserve

Looking up to God Searching for help But how can I love you When I don′t even love myself?

Love is putting happiness over your own But you should still be happy when you′re alone You got to heal from your past And mentally take care Bringing trauma to your next relationship is unfair
The artist believes that love consists of prioritizing the happiness of your partner over your own, but you should still be happy when alone. He also stresses the importance of healing from your past and taking care of your mental state to avoid bringing trauma into future relationships.

The thing about trauma No matter how deep you bury it It will find a way to come back in your life If you carry it So make sure you spend time loving yourself ′Cause in the future It'll be hard to love somebody else
The singer warns that trauma can resurface in your life no matter how deeply you bury it, but you carry it. Therefore, it is vital to devote time to loving yourself since it makes it more challenging to love somebody else in the future otherwise.

Call me crazy, well at least you′re calling I fell for you, I hate it when I'm falling I need consistency Someone to build with me The door is locked, I hope I find the missing key Hope I can find my peace Hope I can feel complete
