Love Yourself

[Verse 1:] I remember back when we were kids, yeah You used to show me what believin' is, yeah You used to tell me everything would be alright As long I stayed focused things change from the inside So tell me why when I see you now You're the one that doesn't believe it now I reach for your hand and your sleeve pulls up I can see all the cuts and the pain that you've done It's like, "what the fuck happened?" man, fuck rappin' I wish we could go back to the skatepark and talk it out We never talk about, just walk around, those issues like If you don't acknowledge it, then it'll pass through Try to talk to you eye to eye, break it down Because when you break the skin it breaks my heart it's like I know you haven't felt right in a long time But I just wanna know what's up [Pre-Chorus:] See I like you and I don't like no one Cause everybody tries to be something they're not We get caught up in the drama of what's hot, just stop I've been so caught up in my life, didn't see what's going on And now I know, some of us just can't do this life alone, homie [Chorus:] I know you hate the way you look so much I just wish that you would love yourself And I know that you're still holding on And I just wish that you would love yourself [Verse 2:] The conversation doesn't change on the day to day Like "how you been, how you doin'?" Okay The irony is you just lie to yourself And while you contemplate death we're all dying to help It's like I just wish you had a chance to see this Everything's beautiful why would you leave this? Beneath this veil of struggle it's all hope And you swear there's not a way out and homie I know so please Take the stars to the grave but not now A lot of us try to fly and get shot down It's not the end of the world tonight, friend Well put the wings together and fly again You don't know my demons, we all got 'em And I struggle with depression too, no more or less than you I'm right here next to you so just talk Because I don't wanna lose you yet, see [Pre-Chorus 2:] Cause I like you and I don't like no one Cause everybody's tryna to be something they're not and get caught But you you said "fuck it let 'em talk" You got so caught up in that life, didn't see where you went wrong And now I know, some of us just can't do this life alone, homie [Chorus:] I know you hate the way you look so much I just wish that you would love yourself And I know that you're still holding on And I just wish that you would love yourself [Verse 3:] Before you pull the trigger just think twice You'll put a bigger hole in the people you leave behind You can't rewrite that history, true But you can learn to see past it Forget the drugs, the cuts, the pain, the loss And find the light inside of you, you're lost I know that everything will be alright As long as you stay focused, things change from the inside [Outro:] I know you hate the way you look so much I just wish that you would love yourself And I know that you're still holding on And I just wish that you would love yourself I know you hate the way you look so much I just wish that you would love yourself And I know that you're still holding on And I just wish that you would love yourself
