love me better

I can love me better than you can
Make me feel so safe with my own two hands
I don't hold in emotions to prove that I'm the goddamn man
Yeah, I can love me better than you can

You make me feel so inadequate
Still I work on everything you criticize
You block me out, choosing everything over me
Making me your very last priority
And I've gotten so used to making excuses
For your shitty behavior
And they say "hurt people hurt people"
As if your actions aren't choices you make

I think that I can love me better than you can
Make me feel so safe with my own two hands
I don't hold in emotions to prove that I'm the goddamn man
Yeah, I can love me better than you can

You made it look so easy
To sell me out over and over
I guess it was easy to put all responsibilities on my shoulders
Yeah, you blamed me for all your problems
And I would say I'm sorry
Guess you always liked an obedient type
Now you're someone else's problem
When you see her at the office
Why don't you tell her I'm doing just fine

Cause I can love me better than you can
Make me feel so safe with my own two hands
I don't hold in emotions to prove that I'm the goddamn man
Yeah, I can love me better than you can

When you're face to face with your betrayal
From nine to five every day
Does it ever bother you?
Is there a conscience behind your pretentious pride?
Guess what you never understood is that I loved you for your inside
Never cared about your money or the cars you drive
And you could've had me on your side
For the rest of your life

Now I love me better than you can
Make me feel so safe with my own two hands
I don't hold in emotions to prove that I'm the goddamn man
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
