To love yourself easier said than done
I really tried to go by the books the pages were faded I gave up
It's like I'm by myself even with my love ones they say to call them up when I'm down
But I feel like a burden right now, right now
And oh you think you can run
You think when the money comes in it gets better
So this is a letter to my teenage self
I know right now you're going through hell
Yeah I could lie and say it all works out
But your accomplishments are bringing you down
You'll find the highest highs will get you low
It's a wake up call to let you know to focus on what's going on inside
You'll cry when you first feel it so don't you take this lightly
You may not love yourself yet but you're starting to like me
I met up with my friend she was one year ahead of where I'm trying to be mentally
She don't even know it but she gave me hope
Hope if I stay the course even when I'm knocked down I can make it on out
It's just a temporary dark cloud
I wanna thank her now
This is a letter to my teenage self
I know right now you're going through hell
Yeah I could lie and say it all works out
But your accomplishments are bringing you down
You'll find the highest highs will get you low
It's a wake up call to let you know to focus on what's going on inside
You'll cry when you first feel it so don't you take this lightly
You may not love yourself yet
But you're starting to like me
Oh I'd never see the day where I could look me in the face and say I like me
I learned a new word today and it's called progress
This is a letter to my future self,
How've you been? Right now I'm not doing so well
Could you lie and say it all works out
I need to hear it now, I need to hear it now
This is a letter to my teenage self
I know right now you're going through hell
Yeah I could lie and say it all works out
But your accomplishments are bringing you so down
The highest highs will get you low
It's a wake up call to let you know to focus on what's going on inside
I cried when I first felt it so I'll never take this lightly
I may not love myself yet but I fucking like me
