I lost myself in fear of losing you… A los’ maself in fi-er of lusin’ yiu
I wish I didn’t do… A’ wuish a’ diden’ du
But I did… Baray did
I lost my own, my own identity… A’ los’ ma’ oun, ma’ oun aidentity
Forgot that you picked me for me… Forgat dat yiu pik’ mi for mi

But now, I don’t negotiate with insecurities… Ba’ nao, a’ don’ negoshieit wuit insekiuritis
They always seem to get the best of me… Dey olwueys siim tu guet de bes’ of mi
I found I had to love myself, the way I wanted you to… A’ faun’ a’ jad ru lov maself, de wuey a’ wuaned yiu tu love me,… Lov mi
No more second guessing… No mor secon’ guesin’
No, there’s no more questioning… No, ders no mor kue’shionin’
I’ll be the one defining who I’m gonna be… Ay’ bi de wuan defainin’ ju a’m gona bi
No concealing feelings, or changing seasonally… No consilin’ filin’s, or chenyin’ sesonaly
I’m gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me… A’m gona lov maself, de wuey a’ wuan’ yiu ru lov mi

Sometimes I wish my skin was a costume… Somtaims a’ wuish ma’ eskin wuas a costum
That I could just unzip… Deray cud yias’ anzip
And strip… En’ estrip
But who I am is who I’m meant to be… B’ ju ay em is ju ay’ men’ tu bi
And it’s who you are in love, in love with… En’ its ju yiu ar in lov, in lov wuitd

So now, I don’t negotiate with insecurities… So nao, a’ don’ negoshieit wuit insekiuritis
They’re gonna have to take a back seat… Der gona jav tu teik a bak siit
I know I have to love myself, the way I want you to… A’ nou ay jav ru lov maself, de wuey a’ wuan’ yiu tu

love me,
No more second guessing
No, there’s no more questioning
I’ll be the one defining who I’m gonna be
No concealing feelings, or changing seasonally
I’m gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me

[2x]
No more standing in my own way… No mor estendin’ in ma’ oun wuey
Let’s go deeper, let’s get closer… Lets go diiper, lets guet clouser
No more standing in my own way
(I want you to love me)… (Ay wuan’ yiu tu lov mi)

No more second guessing
No, there’s no more questioning
I’ll be the one defining who I’m gonna be
No concealing my feelings, or changing seasonally
I’m gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me

No more second guessing
No, there’s no more questioning
I’ll be the one defining who I’m gonna be
No concealing feelings, or changing seasonally
I’m gonna love myself, the way I want you to love me
