Grow in Love

How many times did you fall for the same lies
Heartbroken but still in love at the same time
It's like your heart is alive but your brain died
And it's hard to make the right
Decisions without a sane mind
And at the same you're still trying to find yourself
And love someone else but you really
Don't know how much time is left
Because on the inside it's like you're dying to death
Trying to find yourself, you've got to find yourself

Find yourself a piece of mind before you open up
You've been hurt so many times so you know what's up
You should learn to take your time, yeah
You should learn to take your time before you grow in love
Find yourself a piece of mind before you open up
You've been hurt so many times so you know what's up
You should learn to take your time, yeah

Instead of moving from relationship to relationship
You must understand that you need some time
To heal and deal with the mountains of trauma
That you've hidden deep within inside
Take some time to reach inside and realign
But before you start your search you must
First be the love that you seek to find
Because when the blind leads the blind
We only fall deeper in pain
Not understanding that love is forever
It's not intended to be a seasonal thing
Let this be the reason you change

You should learn to take your time before you grow in love
Find yourself a piece of mind before you open up
You've been hurt so many times so you know what's up
You should learn to take your time, yeah
You should learn to take your time before you grow in love
Find yourself a piece of mind before you open up
You've been hurt so many times so you know what's up
You should learn to take your time, yeah

You will never truly understand and know the
Love that you are worthy of and deserving of
Until you first give that love to yourself
And know your love and grow in your love

She used to be the girl that would give
Her heart to anybody that was first in line
Because she had low self esteem
And a self perceived "worthless mind"
She would fall for anybody who
Came along with the perfect lines
Sometimes she would get beat and abused
But that wasn't worse than the hurt inside
That she felt when she got cheated on
Or that person lied, about small things
That only got worse with time
In the beginning he seemed like the perfect guy
He would make her feel like she was worth
More than anything in the universe combined
Until she broke her abstinence and
Now she's not worth his time
She fell in love with a lifestyle of lust and sin
Ignoring her intuition and putting her trust in men
Then all of these things came to a sudden end
When she started to love herself she found
True love within, she started to love again
Herself
Herself
