Oh, I've been patient with everybody else
Giving pieces of my heart till there's nothing left
Acting like I don't know what I deserve
Like my own reflection hasn't been hurt
I kept pouring out till my cup ran dry
Smiling wide while I put me aside
But tonight I feel it in my chest
A little voice saying: You first

What I want shouldn't scare you, no
It's just self-respect starting to grow
If I choose me, does it make you small?
Or does it mean I learned it all?

I don't need your love to love me
I'm my own fire, my own heartbeat
Kiss my imagination
I don't need your validation

I've been spending too much time on everybody
It's time I spent it on myself (sweet love)
Oh, baby, I've been holding back my heart too long
So I'll give it to myself when it's all said and done
I'm gonna show me some love

Sweet love, I'm gonna give it to myself
Give me some of that love, sweet love, yeah
Love, sweet love, love, sweet love
I'll give myself that sweet love

Now I'm dancing in the mirror light
No more waiting for someone to do it right
I like the way it looks at me
Like I'm everything I need to be
No more crumbs, no second place
No more hiding my own grace
Tonight I feel a little selfish
But maybe that's just being honest

What I do shouldn't scare you
It's just human nature breaking through
If I choose peace over pleasing you
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?

I don't need your love to love me
I'm my own shelter, my own remedy
Happiness on my own
Finally feeling at home

I've been spending too much time on everybody
It's time I spent it on myself (sweet love)
Oh, baby, I've been holding back my heart too long
So I'll give it to myself when it's all said and done
I'm gonna show me some love

Sweet love, I'm gonna give it to myself
Give me some of that love, sweet love, yeah
Love, sweet love, love, sweet love
I'll give myself that sweet love

I'm gonna show myself love
I'm gonna show myself love
No more waiting up
No more giving up

I wanna feel the rush and not hide it
I'm the chosen one, I won't deny it
Nobody knows me like I know me
I don't need nobody to hold me

I'm not asking for permission
This is self-made redemption
All that love I gave away
Is finally here to stay (stay yeah, yeah)

I've been spending too much time on everybody
It's time I spent it on myself (sweet love)
Oh, baby, I've been holding back my heart too long
So I'll give it to myself when it's all said and done
I'm gonna show myself some love

Sweet love, I'm gonna give it to myself
Give myself some of that love, sweet love
Love, sweet love, love, sweet love
I'm gonna give myself that sweet love

Oh-oh-oh, sweet love
Oh-oh-oh, sweet love
Love, sweet love
Yeah, I'll give myself that sweet love
