The Script - If You Don't Love Yourself Lyrics

The Script Lyrics

"If You Don't Love Yourself"

Look at me, I'm my own worst enemy
Beat myself up now, every chance I see
Nice to everyone, when it comes to me
Cut myself up with brutal honesty

How can you love if you don't love yourself?
If you don't love yourself
You can love no one else
How can you love if you don't love yourself?
If you don't love yourself
You can love no one else, no

If you don't love yourself
You can love no one else, no
If you don't love yourself
You can love no one else, no

Look at you, you're just as messed up as me
Only difference is I speak honestly
Nice to everyone, when it comes to me
It's like you hate yourself, don't see what I see

How can you love if you don't love yourself? (Don't love yourself)
If you don't love yourself (Don't love yourself)
You can love no one else
How can you love if you don't love yourself? (Don't love yourself)
If you don't love yourself (Don't love yourself)
You can love no one else, no

If you don't love yourself
You can love no one else, no
If you don't love yourself
You can love no one else, no

Every twist and turn that our life takes
Like a boat in the sea when the wave breaks
Every night is the dawn of a new day
You don't lose if you learn from your mistakes
Every twist and turn that our life takes
Like a boat in the sea when the wave breaks
Every night is the dawn of a new day
You don't lose if you learn from your mistakes

Oh, if you don't love yourself, no
You can love no one else (Did you know?)
No, if you don't love yourself
You can love no one else, no
How can you love if you don't love yourself?

Mark Sheehan explained about "If You Don't Love Yourself" to Apple Music, "We realized, that a lot of time young people don't like themselves. It's a bit shocking to us, because to like anyone else, you've got to like yourself first. It's a hard concept to grasp, particularly for a young person. We want to have a positive message out there and use our music now and then, like 'Superheroes'. We wanted a song on the record that was super positive."
