Songtext zu 'Love Yourself' von Phora

Don't let this world and all these fake people upset you
Keep your head high, you should know that you special
Had to leave 'em all behind, so I could find myself
But they say if they really love you then they'll never forget you
They say that all the people with gifts are born with a curse
Everything I try, I feel like it never works
I'm either fighting myself in my head or fighting my family
Like nobody understands me and holidays are the worst, 'cause
It seems like the world smiling without me
I know what they say when they talk about me
I know they look at me, wish I was gone
I'm a mess, I'm depressed, but fuck it I say it proudly, 'cause
That's what makes me and nobody's perfect, but
I keep on going hopin' it's worth it
I still fighting all these demons in my head
I'm never really alone, 'cause they'll be with me 'til I'm dead

Don't get me wrong, this ain't a love song
This a song about loving yourself
This not a song for the radio
This a song for you when you feel nothing could help
Don't get me wrong, this ain't a love song
This a song about loving yourself
This not a song for the radio
This a song for you when you feel nothing could help

'Cause I promise this will, no matter how heartless you feel
Deep inside there's always a little light you could still be who you wanna be
Trust me it's never too late, and I know how it feels to be judged by all your mistakes
They point at all of your flaws, throw that shit in your face
That shit is weighing you down, feel like you can't get a break Yeah I know, trust me you ain't the only one
In a world full of people we jus the lonely ones, the hurt ones, the lost ones, the crazy ones
And I ain't know that I had a heart till you gave me one
Where do you go when the world sits on your shoulders?
No one there to answer your question, searching for closure, look
Why do we run from the love that we all been searching for, prolly only understand if you been hurt before
Well, you're not alone
And all the places that you go feel like it's not a home
I know you feel like there's no escape, I know you try holding faith
I know you still try to smile even though you made some mistakes
Jus hold on for me, and I'll hold on for you
I'll hold on for anybody who's broken and bruised
I used to hate myself and didn't know what to do
Bottle my emotions I lock myself in a room
Hurt by all the people I trust, that did me dirty, but I learned not to waste water on gardens that never bloom and as painful as it is
This life is beautiful
Don't give up too soon, 'cause you'll never really know what could happen
And no matter what they do to you, they could try and break you down, but don't let 'em break your soul
Said as painful as it is this life is beautiful
Don't give up too soon, 'cause you'll never really know what could happen
And no matter what they do to you, they could try and break you down, but don't let 'em break your soul

Don't get me wrong, this ain't a love song
This a song about loving yourself
This not a song for the radio
This a song for you when you feel nothing could help
Don't get me wrong, this ain't a love song
This a song about loving yourself
This not a song for the radio
This a song for you when you feel nothing could help

'Cause I promise this will, I know some scars never heal
Sometimes pain is all we can feel
But that's what shows that you real
See I been through some things I would never confess
So I jus keep it all inside feel the weight in my chest
God knows, yeah he knows, I was low and depressed
I mean I lost my touch with God but he still shows me I'm blessed you know
Said I been through some things I would never confess
So I jus keep it all inside feel the weight in my chest
God knows, yeah he knows, I was low and depressed
I mean I lost my touch with God but he still shows me I'm blessed you know
Yours truly
