I tried

To wake up without feeling tired

To hold on to what I thought was mine

To hold on to you

Albeit a little too tight

I tried

What I want for you

Is for you to love yourself as badly as I do

For you to tell yourself

You matter too

All you need is you

Always

Make people wonder why you smile

Make yourself wish you never cried,

and hold on to you

Promise me you'll try

Always

What I want for you

Is for you to love yourself as bad as I do

For you to tell yourself

You matter too

All you need is you
