I Loved You More Than I Hate Myself

I remember when I spat the word love at anything that showed me
some attention, now I'm back to craving comfort like it's oxygen.
Why do I fall away from all the things that keep me standing up?
The words I used to spit right out,
get caught in my throat like they used to do.
Used to do
I couldn't love myself, so I learned to love you.
I can't lie to myself, so now I'll tell the truth.
I couldn't love myself, so I learned to love you.
I can't lie to myself so now I'll tell the truth.
I'll tell the truth
Self esteem's an old friend I don't talk to anymore,
not from my own choice, and now karma's catching up to me again.
To me again.
Nothing really changes anymore
I couldn't love myself, so I learned to love you.
I couldn't lie to myself, so now I'll tell the truth.
I couldn't love myself, so I learned to love you.
I couldn't lie to myself, so now I'll tell the truth.
I'll tell the truth
The truth is I've been waiting for you to show me how to feel
anything for anyone,
'cause my words just feel like water
guns on a forest fire, or a funeral pyre.
Too little too late, not that you'd listen anyway.
Well you used to hang on to every word like they
were made of glass, you didn't want to break them.
Now you let them slip between your fingertips.
I'm like a waterfall in the way I'm always falling for you.
The way I'm always falling
The truth is I've been waiting for you to show me how to feel
anything for anyone,
'cause my words just feel like
waterguns on a forest fire, or a funeral pyre.
Too little too late, not that you'd listen anyway.
You used to hang on to every word like they
were made of glass, you didn't want to break them.
Now you let them slip between your fingertips.
I'm like a waterfall, let me be your waterfall
