lyrics

Vs. 1
I was readin' the good book, and what did I see
A message that I've read before
"Love your neighbors the same way that you love yourself"
But what if I do not love me

Cuz if I love others the way I love me
I wouldn't be loving at all
So I'm starting a journey to learn to love me
So that I can learn to love you

Vs. 2
You ask me why with your blue weary eyes
Empty because I have run
I say I do not know and then turn to go
Because I know that I've made you cry

I walked away because I couldn't love you
It's nothing that you've said or done
The answer is simple, I cannot love you
Because I've not yet learned to love me

Vs. 3
I have lied and I've stolen affections from men
In cold blood without remorse
And I think back on all of those that I have hurt
And my actions He would not endorse

I haven't loved but instead I have scorned
The greatest, most prized gift of all
The love of one higher, that's completely free
The kind of love that might help me love me

And I'm still a long way from loving myself
The way that I'd like to love somebody else
Atleast I know now just what I need to do
In order for me to love you
