She’s been looking in the mirror not liking what she sees
Even though I keep telling her she’s beautiful to me
But that’s not enough; she’s got to be beautiful to her
If it doesn’t come from within it just sounds like words
And I’ve been there before so I understand
That real happiness comes from our own two hands
And the walls we tear down by ourselves
Cuz you can’t love someone else until you love yourself
Came running headfirst out of a darker place
And until right now had just been taking up space
I know you’re in pain I can see it your face
The way you try to hold back these tears with grace
So you cut your wrists in private to feel something
Cuz a pain that bleeds beats feeling nothing
And I can’t promise you that things will always be perfect
But I can tell you with assurance that you’re totally worth it

[Chorus] (x2)
Above all:
Love yourself
Love yourself
Love yourself

In middle school I was picked on and pushed around
Made to feel worthless but I know better now
That the one person you should count on is yourself
You’re the only one that can pull yourself outta hell
And once you know that you will feel empowered
Once you love yourself you’ll blossom like a flower
People will still try to put you down but it won’t work
Cuz as long as you love yourself their words can’t hurt
You’re beautiful no matter what your flaws may be
You’re priceless and your existence matters to me
It should matter to you too, you can pull yourself through
It’s just a matter of perspective with attitude
They are always gonna try to pull you down no matter what you do
So just shrug your shoulders at them and keep doing you
I know at times your situation may seem hopeless
But I can tell you with assurance it’s not and I know this

[Chorus] (x4)
(When the going gets tough we ride through the rough
Pick yourself back up, pick yourself back up)

Now I look in the mirror and never think this is it
I can always do better than what I present
I’m worth a whole lot solely because I exist
To help pull other people up out of the depths
Spent my entire life in toxic relationships
Done a lot of drugs and been with a lot of chicks
But you can’t expect love if you don’t have it for yourself
So I’ll sing it to the stars, tell the world to love itself

[Chorus] (x4)
(When the going gets tough we ride through the rough
Pick yourself back up, pick yourself back up)
