I almost disappeared Trying not to take up too much space I almost gave up love Cuz I was afraid to feel the pain And I gave up on me Cuz everyone else did I almost left this place Cuz I had nothing to miss Just as I was drowning something in me came out Clawing to the surface, saw my own hand reach out Just as I was dying, that's when I decided I deserved to live That's how you love yourself, oh oh When you run straight towards the pain That's how you love yourself, oh oh When you get to see your strength Even though you've never been more scared in your whole life That's how you love yourself, oh oh When you do the hardest thing And make it out alive I stopped running away And stared right into all my ugly truths Now I give it my all Even when the odds are that I'll lose And I still have my doubts, uh oh But I get up anyways And I keep falling down, uh oh But I've never been more proud Just as I was drowning something in me came out Clawing to the surface, saw my own hand reach out Just as I was dying, that's when I decided I deserved to live That's how you love yourself, oh oh When you run straight towards the pain That's how you love yourself, oh oh When you get to see your strength Even though you've never been more scared in your whole life That's how you love yourself, oh oh When you do the hardest thing And make it out alive I made it out alive I made it out alive And I've got me to thank That's how you love yourself, oh oh When you run straight towards the pain That's how you love yourself, oh oh When you get to see your strength Even though you've never been more scared in your whole life That's how you love yourself, oh oh When you do the hardest thing And make it out alive I made it out alive I made it out alive And I've got me to thank
