I Don't Want You To Love Me (If You Don't Love Yourself) Lyrics

You're searching in the dark, looking for a sign,

But the truth you're running from is buried deep inside,

You keep on reaching out, but you're still far behind,

Trying to find your way in someone else's eyes.

I see the way you're hurting, and I wish you'd understand,

You've got to hold your own heart before you take my hand,

We're caught up in this circle, but we're still so far apart,

We can't build this love until you know where to start.

I don't want you to love me if you don't love yourself,

We can't be whole together when you're lost somewhere else,

We won't be happy together until we're happy apart,

So take your time, find your light, find your heart.

You keep on chasing dreams that leave you feeling low,

But the peace you're searching for is something only you can know,

I can't be your rescue, I can't be your escape,

You've got to find your own way before it's too late.

I know that it's not easy, but it's something you must do,

You've got to learn to love yourself before you can love me too,

We're dancing in the shadows, but we're stumbling in the dark,

We won't find our rhythm till we're strong enough apart.

I don't want you to love me if you don't love yourself,

We can't be whole together when you're lost somewhere else,

We won't be happy together until we're happy apart,

So take your time, find your light, find your heart.

I don't want you to love me if you don't love yourself,

We can't be whole together when you're lost somewhere else,

We won't be happy together until we're happy apart,

So take your time, find your light, find your heart.

Yeah, take your time, find your light, find your heart,

We'll only find our love when we're both strong apart.
