letlive. – I've Learned To Love Myself lyrics

There’s no way my mother can still love me,
The way my father, my father said she did.
More like a brother to the others, but to my sister,
I am nothing but another statistic.

When you’re birthed by seven women over 13 days,
Superstitious happy endings seem farther away than you may want to believe.

Although our brother is sleeping with our greatest enemy,
We still love him like we did when we were kids.
But if another of my brothers meets that reaper early,
There will be nothing that can stop revolution.

Now my mouth keeps running, but it’s running in place,
And the mask I used to wear is now becoming my face,
There’s no way I will be seen.

[Chorus]
I’ve learned to love myself,
I’ve learned to love myself abandonment.
(I believe fear cannot exist within the plan)
And if I feel myself
I’ve learned to do it with the touch of death.
I’ve learned to love myself,
I’ve learned to love myself abandonment.
(I believe fear cannot exist within the plan)
So when you feel yourself,
You should be careful with the touch of death (the touch of death).

And now my lover is screaming,
“Jason, can you love me
The way you never even acted like you did?”
You see, the problem I’m seeing with being so damn empty.
Is the irony when you’re completely full of shit?

When your mouth keeps running to a dangerous place,
Can you really call it lost if you don’t want to be saved?
When it rains, it’s pouring on me.

[Chorus]
I’ve learned to love myself,
I’ve learned to love myself abandonment.
(I believe fear cannot exist within the plan)
And if I feel myself
I’ve learned to do it with the touch of death.
I’ve learned to love myself,
I’ve learned to love myself abandonment.
(I believe fear cannot exist within the plan)
So when you feel yourself,
You should be careful with the touch of death (the touch of death).

[Outro]
I’ve learned to love myself,
I’ve learned to love myself abandonment.
(I believe fear cannot exist within the plan)
And once you see it all, it’s all you see and I’m okay with that,
Okay with that!
