I needed to explore the core of me
then and only then will the truth come out
I was the girl in the mirror
the one they whispered about
I knelt beside the pools of selfishness and pain
disappointments resentment
anger
the view was all the same
pictures of my life
that played over and over again
Draining my river of happiness the steam is growing thin
I know what I have to do is to go further down
I have learned I can't love you if I don't love myself
or else we will both drown.

that played over and over again
Draining my river of happiness the steam is growing thin
I know what I have to do is to go further down
I have learned I can't love you if I don't love myself
or else we will both drown.
