Do mirrors make you nervous,
more nervous than she ever could? Your reflection.
Is your worst friend.
And now you don't know where you stand,
You're holding your heart in your hand, In your hand…
Do you smile on every photograph, When they make a joke,
Fake a laugh?
So they can't see what you hide,
Behind those weary eyes?
What they don't know can't hurt them, What you know hurts the worst,
When you're all alone and no one can Know,
They only make it hurt.
You've got to learn to love yourself Before you love someone else,
But how can you love yourself,
When your every breath is taken By someone else's heart?
Your own is beating like a drum inside a Prison of flesh and bones,
Of flesh and bones
Shirt sleeves rolled up high, your Shoelaces are untied,
Like the strings in your heart,
attached To your mind, they trip you up,
But there's no getting up,
‘Cause she tied you down,
You don't feel better now, she's not Around,
Now she's not around.
You've got to learn to love yourself Before you love someone else,
But how can you love yourself,
When your every breath is taken By Someone else's heart?
Your own is beating like a drum inside
A prison of flesh and bones,
Of flesh and bones
Of flesh and bones…
You've got to learn to love yourself Before you love someone else,
But how can you love yourself,
When your every breath is taken By Someone else's heart?
Your own is beating like a drum inside a Prison of flesh and bones,
Of flesh and bones
