I Love Myself (English Version)

Mc Gaivota

Compositor: Bruno de Oliveira Lima

I remember when I got into that car
I remember when you told me I was handsome
You promised me the world, and I believed it
Was it so easy to manipulate me?
Before I knew it, I put you first in everything

When I realized
I was trapped in the web you made
I snuffed out the flame on my own path
I couldn’t see where I was heading anymore

I remember you asking me to sing for you
Saying that my voice was beautiful
But then I sang off-key in our song
Because now that song wasn’t mine anymore
It was our song

I saw the signs and ignored them
My eyes closed to what was right in front of me
I burned my reason for you
And let everything catch fire
In the end, you had fun with my pain
When it wasn’t yours, it was my pain
You had fun with it, didn’t you?
(You bastard)

I was always blind, jumping in headfirst
I had to lose you to find myself
I had to learn that love can’t be begged for
It’s given, when real love exists
I had to hate you to love me
And now I love myself
Yes, I love myself
I had to leave that toxic relationship to love me
And now I love myself
Yes, I love myself more

I gave everything, and everyone saw it
But you tore me down, and now it’s clear
In two months, you replaced me
Or had you been replacing me before?
For you, it was easier not to show affection
You’d say you didn’t need to kiss me
Boyfriends don’t do that all the time, you’d say
For you, everything was easy

You made me believe I deserved it
Those crumbs you called love
In the height of my pain, you made me end it
Because for you, it was easier
To watch me bleed than to be the one who shot without mercy
We were always blind, acting without thinking
I had to hate you to find myself

I was always blind, jumping in headfirst
I had to lose you to find myself
I had to learn that love can’t be begged for
It’s given, when real love exists
I had to hate you to love me
And now I love myself
Yes, I love myself
I had to leave that toxic relationship to love me
And now I love myself
Yes, I love myself more

You don’t know how good it felt
To leave that place
To not be forced to stay with your friends
To not have to give you money when you had none
(How stupid I was!)
But now I'm not anymore
And I just want you to know
How much of a bastard you were
So fuck you!!!
And I hope you pay for all the harm you caused me

I was always blind, jumping in headfirst
I had to lose you to find myself
I had to learn that love can’t be begged for
It’s given, when real love exists
I had to hate you to love me
And now I love myself
Yes, I love myself
I had to leave that toxic relationship to love me
And now I love myself
Yes, I love myself more

I had to hate you to love me
And now I love myself
Yes, I love myself
I had to leave that toxic relationship to love me
And now I love myself
Yes, I love myself more
