A Song About Self-Love

Lyrics: Cyrena Fiel The sun is crying all alone The movie’s playing, you’re on your phone again Am I not enough for you? The water’s drying upon my skin My faith is wearing thin I’m trying to see the world, but there’s so much that I don’t deserve Everything I do doesn’t matter when I’m feeling useless Think I’m a little pessimistic these days I need a figurehead, a thicker wall when I’m in bed So they don’t hear my crying, think I worn out trying Oh, ooh Hey, it’ s been too long Tell me what i need to know You say, and it all goes away Hey, hey, hey Don’t forget about the self-love The voices in your head can only hurt you if you let-’em in Don’t you ever let-’em win They don’t mean anything unless you let-‘em dream Forever the director, not the actor in the scene Ba-ba doodoo dododo doodoo Ba -ba doodoo dododo doodoo Ba -ba You said if it’s gonna be, it’s up to me Don’t use the word “hate” a lot Just when I’m talking to my mirror I’m just kidding, tomorrow it’ll be different (maybe) My motivation’s long removed I wish I knew a happy mood I’m trying to step outside, you know my mind makes me wanna hide Everything I do doesn’t matter when I’m feeling hopeless I want to be more optimistic these days I need a different bod, a cover up’s not good enough The prophecies denying, call me out for trying Oh, ooh Hey, it’ s been too long Tell me what I need to know You say, and it all goes away Hey, hey, hey Don’t forget about the self-love The voices in your head can only hurt you if you let-’em in Don’t you ever let-’em win They don’t mean anything unless you let-‘em dream Forever the director, not the actor in the scene Ba-ba doodoo dododo doodoo Ba -ba doodoo dododo doodoo Ba -ba You said if it’s gonna be, it’s up to me A quick fix doesn’t exist There’s no place, a saving grace There’s time, it might take money Or a lot of something funny To drown out all the misery and pain I’m just praying, someday If I wake up and my feet hit the floor That’d be all it takes to know that, “ I’m good” And I’ll be the catalyst for change In my own iridescent way I won’t forget about the self-love The voices in my head can only hurt me if I let-’em in I won’t ever let-’em win They don’t mean anything unless I let-‘em dream Forever the director, not the actor in the scene Ba-ba doodoo dodo doodoo Ba -ba doodoo dodo doodoo Ba -ba My daddy said, if it’s gonna be me, it’s up to me
