Wishing Time

There's a shooting star

In the night sky

I'm holding my breath

Is it wishing time?

Where do you go when your heart's been broken?

What is there to say when you've lost it all?

You opened up, the places you swore would stay hidden,

Became exposed and now it's all been poisoned.

Chorus:

I don't know what to do

Other than wishing on myself

Trust in myself and no one else.

Every lover lets you down,

No one will ever love me like I do,

Like I do.

I've been going at this

For way too long

Dreaming on dreams

That will never come true.

Where do you go when loving is your place in this world?

What is there to say when you've given it your all?

You tried to be strong, you've been pushed too hard, too long

Became a fighter and now all you see is the reflection of you, on your own.

Chorus

I don't know what to do

Other than wishing on myself

Trust in myself and no one else.

Every lover lets you down,

I deserve more than this, so much more

I need it.

Chorus

Every lover lets you down,

I deserve more than this, so much more,

That I do.

Love Myself

I’ve got these scars,

They’re on the inside and outside.

I’ve cried over each path I’ve taken

But I know these maps won’t define me.

Chorus:

I’m learning to love myself

Praying God will lead me on

Hold me tightly, for each time I fall—

I will love myself.

I defied my family

Inked my skin and got a piercing;

I will go against traditions,

Fly out of this cocoon I am in.

Chorus

Chorus

You see a person in front of you,

Broken, cracked, bleeding and bruised.

You think that you know me,

But I’m telling you not to judge me.

Chorus

You don’t think that I can be free

Be myself, the one that’s not seen

You don’t listen to me

It’s time to hear me.

Chorus

I will love—

I will love myself.
