Love Yourself 2 Phora

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Why do we try to protect our hearts by pretendin' we don't have one?
Try to escape from our fears, but we can't run
Seems like we were drownin' from the start
And this void in my heart is still as empty as the last one
I know some people who get numb just to cope with they feelings
I know some people broke inside even though they make millions
I know some people stuck with someone thеy couldn't be real with
I know some pеople hurt themselves when they supposed to be healin'
So you hide your scars still hopin' you're worth it, but
You were born to be real, not to be perfect, look
I still question myself and I'm still searchin' for
A perfect world where none of us feel worthless, look
Music reminds me that pain is temporary
Flowers remind me that rain is necessary
I used to hold on to all of the trauma
Of people who weighed me down, now those memories are dead and buried, mmm
There's beauty in lettin' go
They say if you never try, then you'll never know
I know what it's like to feel your heart gettin' cold
Like the house that you livin' in that was never home
Struggled as a kid, you was losin' focus
Scars on your body from the people closest
Pops wasn't around, teachers didn't notice
That kid walkin' through the hallways feelin' hopeless
No one notices your tears, no one notices your face
No one notices your pain, but they notice your mistakes
I know how it feels to be the one that was replaced
And I know how it feels to wear these scars that don't erase
And you feel like you alone in a crowd, uh
Yellin' as loud as you can, seems like no one's hearin' a sound
And I think I learned to get along with loneliness now
But it's just hard to let anybody close to me now
I mean, it's like nobody cares, this life just isn't fair
And someone said that we repeat what we don't repair
Sometimes we fall apart, sometimes we lose our heart
When you can't find the light, I'll sit with you in the dark
