Self Lovers (Official Video)

[Intro] [slap bass enters, syncopated electric guitar scratches] [handclaps on beats 2 and 4] You gave and gave You smiled through it all Mmm, it's time [drum kit enters, full groove] Yeah, yeah (uh, uh) [Verse 1] [female vocals, bright tone] You gave, gave till your cup ran dry You smiled so bright but hid the tears in your eyes You came in last every single time You put everyone first, now it's your turn to shine You carried the weight, never asked for a thing Forgot your own heart while you lifted their wings But deep down inside there's a voice calling out Whispering softly, it's time to turn around [Pre-Chorus] No more waiting, no more giving it all away The love you deserve starts with you today [Chorus] [brass stabs, layered vocal harmonies] Self-lovers (hey!) Self-lovers (come on!) Self-lovers It's time to love yourself first (hey!) You, you, you gotta L-O-V-E love yourself first You, you, you gotta L-O-V-E put yourself first Self-lovers (hey!) Self-lovers It's time to love yourself first [Verse 2] [bass-driven groove continues] Yeah, you gave, gave till there was nothing left You smiled for them while you quietly wept You came in last in your own storyline You put everyone first but your light's still gonna shine Now look in the mirror, see the queen or the king The one who deserves every beautiful thing Stop pouring from empty, start filling your soul You're worthy of love, you're worthy of it all [Pre-Chorus] No more shrinking, no more playing small Stand in your power, answer your own call [Chorus] Self-lovers (hey!) Self-lovers (louder!) Self-lovers It's time to love yourself first (hey!) You, you, you gotta L-O-V-E love yourself first You, you, you gotta L-O-V-E put yourself first Self-lovers (hey!) Self-lovers It's time to love yourself first [Bridge] [music softens, piano and light percussion] You deserve the world You deserve the love Start with you right now, yeah It's your time [Outro] [full energy returns, brass stabs] Self-lovers (mmm, mmm) Self-lovers (mmm, mmm) Self-lovers It's time to love yourself first You, you, you gotta L-O-V-E love yourself first You, you, you gotta L-O-V-E put yourself first Self-lovers (yeah!) Self-lovers It's time to love yourself first Song by @ MaryjoySL
