You have to love me
Because I can't do it alone
You have to love me
You have to find my voice and my poems pretty
Still
You have to love me
You have to keep your hand in mine when I'm pale
Tell me it will be okay and there won't be any problems
That the moon is full

Why do I always need validation
To be found nice, to be found sublime
I'm afraid of opinions, of hearts that get damaged
Of no longer being in the loop
I'm afraid of no longer being the same
That you'll throw me away for the next one
That I'll be nothing more than a stranger

You have to love me, otherwise what do I do
You have to love me, I can't do it
You have to love me
Otherwise, I lose my footing
I don't know where to go or what my name is

You have to love me, otherwise what do I do?
You have to love me, I can't do it
You have to love me, it's nonsense
You have to love me more than I love myself
More than I love myself
You have to believe in me more than I do

You have to love me
Otherwise, my heart is not at ease
You have to love me
When I don't even know how to dress
How to animate myself
When I hibernate

You have to love me
When I no longer believe in what I do
You have to love me
When I feel like I'm failing at everything
You have to help me
When I feel like crap

I'm afraid of no longer being the same
That you'll throw me away for the next one
That I'll be nothing more than a stranger

You have to love me, otherwise what do I do
You have to love me, I can't do it
You have to love me
Otherwise, I lose my footing
I don't know where to go or what my name is

You have to love me, otherwise what do I do?
You have to love me, I can't do it
You have to love me, it's nonsense
You have to believe in me more than I do

Why do I only notice the thumbs down, the bad demons?
Why don't I hear well when you say "it's good"
Why do I hear "it's bad" when you say "it's great"
Why am I always waiting for permission?
Why is there no trust in my house?
Why am I always trying to please?
Tell me you're like that too
You're like that too

You have to love me, otherwise what do I do
You have to love me, I can't do it
You have to love me
Otherwise, I lose my footing
I don't know where to go or what my name is

You have to love me, otherwise what do I do?
You have to love me, I can't do it
You have to love me, it's nonsense
You have to love me more than I love myself
More than I love myself
You have to believe in me more than I do
