Looking in the mirror
You only see what you hate
All the imperfections
You think you gained a little weight
So you make yourself small
Thinking everybody cares
Honey I know that it's hard
But there's no need to compare
'Cause if there's one thing I have learned in life
You gotta treat yourself
Like someone else
You wouldn't say the things you say
You wouldn't think to think that way
You know the love you've felt
For someone else
You need to turn that around
'Cause girl you're allowed
To love yourself
Yeah girl you're allowed
To love yourself
If I told you that
You are beautiful
Tell me how would you react
Is it uncomfortable
Could you say the words
'I love me'
Could you shout it to the world
Could you make you believe
That you are strong
And you've been all along
You gotta treat yourself
Like someone else
You wouldn't say the things you say
You wouldn't think to think that way
You know the love you've felt
For someone else
You need to turn that around
'Cause girl you're allowed
To love yourself
Yeah girl you're allowed
To love yourself
I don't know how long it's been for you
But hear me out 'cause I've been in your shoes
It takes time from years of being cruel
Forgive yourself and start to heal the wounds
'Cause if there's one thing I have learned in life
You gotta treat yourself
Like someone else
You wouldn't say the things you say
You wouldn't think to think that way
You know the love you've felt
For someone else
You need to turn that around
Cause girl you're allowed
To love yourself
Yeah girl you're allowed
To love yourself
