Forgot to love me in 2016 Had my first boyfriend, innocent as it seemed Dumped my first guy and realized I never even cried Starting dating a lot Cuz thats what you do Never the right person, didnt like to choose They asked me out, and I said yes Didnt think to second guess Ten years later, I'm eighteen Dated so much, I lost me And I realized why I never cried Why I was fine being just friends I date too much cuz it's a crutch... But... My heart was never in it Cant love someone if you don't love yourself And I'd take all the love in the world over wealth Saw myself in the mirror Broken glass half empty boy filled with fear And I realized... I was never here Three days ago I got a boyfriend A week ago I figured out why I had trouble feeling love Two years ago I got touched and it was too much, not enough I'm scared of intimacy but I'm touch starved And I have a heart that needs time to feel Dont think I should be dating... Think I need time to heal Gotta get back what I lost In 2016

What I lost in 2016
Forgot to love me in 2016 Had my first boyfriend, innocent as it seemed Dumped my first guy and realized I never even cried Starting dating a lot Cuz thats what you do Never the right person, didnt like to choose They asked me out, and I said yes Didnt think to second guess Ten years later, I'm eighteen Dated so much, I lost me And I realized why I never cried Why I was fine being just friends I date too much cuz it's a crutch... But... My heart was never in it Cant love someone if you don't love yourself And I'd take all the love in the world over wealth Saw myself in the mirror Broken glass half empty boy filled with fear And I realized... I was never here Three days ago I got a boyfriend A week ago I figured out why I had trouble feeling love Two years ago I got touched and it was too much, not enough I'm scared of intimacy but I'm touch starved And I have a heart that needs time to feel Dont think I should be dating...
