as much as I want to be loved
I need to learn how to love myself
all these hearts are flying at me
and I feel as if I can't breathe
trying to please and mend others
without taking cover for my own
I can't do this anymore
I can't keep up the face
I feel like a fucking disgrace
to all I preach
I have been climbing out of the black pits
I'm trying to regain
someone I lost
recreate
and breathe.
there will be no love to offer
until I love me
no peace within my soul
no peace within myself
I have to cast this all out
no one can save me
but me
there is no knight
no love that can make it ok
but the love for myself
these are the confessions
of a disgruntled heart.
