I can tell you're lost Keeping your head down low You're putting me on a pedestal The place where nobody grows I can see you hiding Holding in your feelings But I don't want your silence You gotta let me in Don't put your whole heart away I need you to say what you're trying to say You're being small But I need your all and your everything I need you to put yourself first 'cause That's when I love you the most I need you to know your own worth 'cause That's when I love you the most I want you to tell me when I'm foolish And check me when I'm wrong I need you to love yourself first 'cause That's when I love you the most I love you the most I can't be your ticket out Can't be your reason for living You gotta stand in your own power, babe For all the world to see Don't put your whole heart away I need you to say what you're trying to say You're being small But I need your all and your everything I need you to put yourself first 'cause That's when I love you the most I need you to know your own worth 'cause That's when I love you the most I want you to tell me when I'm foolish And check me when I'm wrong I need you to love yourself first 'cause That's when I love you the most I love you the most I wish you could see yourself through my eyes Everything you become when you try I don't want to hold you back from all your dreams I love you too much to let you give it up for me I need you to love yourself first 'Cause that's when I love you the most I need you to put yourself first 'cause That's when I love you the most I need you to know your own worth 'cause That's when I love you the most I want you to tell me when I'm foolish And check me when I'm wrong I need you to love yourself first 'cause That's when I love you the most I love you the most I love you the most
