You've got a grip on me like it's no one's business
Puppet strings, controlling my movements
I'm so drawn to the sound of your voice
It doesn't feel like a choice
But you just turn away
You're messing, messing with my head (messing with my head)
Truth or lies, I don't know what I've been fed
This will end one of two ways
Don't wanna wait around for you to change
Ooh, ooh
I don't think you'll ever come around
It's never been more clear than it is right now
It's time for me to say
Gotta learn to love yourself before you love me
It's time for me to say
Gotta learn to love yourself before you love me (love me)
Learn to love yourself before you love me (love me)
Learn to love yourself before you love me
You've got a grip on me and it's driving me crazy
Invisible everyday
I've traded my sanity, the best of me for a glimpse of affection
I don't think you'll ever come around
It's never been more clear than it is right now
It's time for me to say
Gotta learn to love yourself before you love me
It's time for me to say
Gotta learn to love yourself before you love me (love me)
Learn to love yourself before you love me (love me)
Learn to love yourself before you love me
Maybe you'll find happiness somewhere that isn't here
Maybe you'll find happiness with someone that, someone that isn't me
I don't think you'll ever come around
It's never been more clear than it is right now
It's time for me to say
Gotta learn to love yourself before you love me
It's time for me to say
Gotta learn to love yourself before you love me (love me)
Learn to love yourself before you love me (love me)
Learn to love yourself before you love me
It's about time for me to say
