Love Yourself Lyrics

(Written by John Redmon)

(Verse 1)

I saw a man on the corner

With tears in his eyes

It seemed like he had given up

He gave his last ride

I went to him to reassure

Everything would be alright

He shook his head and fell down as dead

But these words he left behind

(Chorus)

How can you love somebody when you can’t even love yourself

How can you hold somebody when you’ve never been held

How can you forgive somebody when you never got a second chance

How can you love somebody when you can’t even love yourself

(Verse 2)

I saw her at the altar

With her hand in his hand

But instead of joy I saw fears

Instead of smiles unresolved tears

I wondered why she was getting up

During the holy prayer

She yelled “I can’t!”

Got up and went

Broke for the exit doors

A little later I called her up

To ask her the reason why

Then I heard her on the other end

In a monotone cry. She said…

(Repeat Chorus)

(TAG)

I’m ready to love me

I’m ready to hold me

I’m ready to trust me

I’m ready to believe in me

But I must forgive me

So I can love me

(Repeat Tag)
