I wake up in the morning, I'm two hours late

But I don't rush to get to classes, 'cause it's just another day

I've been relying on my family to tell me where to go

Even though, none of them know

I've already hit the fuckin' road

Testing all my options

I'm failing out of college

My coworkers think that I'm a raging alcoholic

But to my knowledge, in my mind, i'm fine

'Cause being young and stupid

Turns you old and wise

I've been desperate for attention

Even though I never mentioned

That I'll never learn my lesson

I'm an introvert with weapons

I'd be a salty lemon

If I could give my life a flavor

Ignoring all my fans

To make room for all my haters

I talk to every girl with bad intentions and deception

Avoiding giving answers to the trickiest of questions

I've been talking to my therapist about my worst confessions

And with every session

I'm getting farther from heaven

(chorus)

I need to learn to love myself right now

'Cause I gave it all away and now my mind broke down

I need to learn to love myself right now

'Cause I gave it all away and now my mind broke down

Tons of people tell me I should get my life on track

And you should see there reaction

When I say it's their own life that's lackin'

Turned the tables and now I'm attackin'

Go spend some time alone

Instead of leaving home just to snapchat it

Don't worry, I know, I'm a hypocrite

I do the same shit and I probably won't ever quit

But I do admit, we're whipped, and we all submit

So maybe we should try to enjoy our lives without a script

There's a difference between having fun

And showing people that you can smile a ton, it's overdone

People don't know who you've really become

Just what you post upfront

But don't worry

It'll be buried in a month

I need to learn to love myself right now

'Cause I gave it all away and now my mind broke down

I need to learn to love myself right now

'Cause I gave it all away and now my mind broke down

I can't keep relying on my friends and fate

I can't keep calling it getting lucky when I find a mate

'Cause it's my confidence that always wins me the race

So I can try to talk to a girl with a beautiful face

And say hello! how are you? I want to get to know you

But I should warn you there's a side to me I never wanna show you

I'll get jealous when I think that you're with another guy

'Cause I'm the only one that worked this hard to make it in your life

My anxiety is crippling

My passions let me walk

But as soon as I'm in love

I lose track of all my thoughts

Or so I thought

Oh my god

I need to take a walk

'Cause maybe I'll forget this by the time I'm around the block

I need to learn to love myself right now

'Cause I gave it all away and now my mind broke down

I need to learn to love myself right now

'Cause I gave it all away and now my mind broke down

I've let girls get in the way of my music

But then they break my heart

And I finally just lose it

I find the will to produce it

And that's the only way I've gotten through it

And my lyrics are the only way that I can prove it
