Lyrics
Self-Esteem
It's been long since you've been here
How does it feel coming home
You've lost your way
And come here today
Wanting to carry on
How do you want me to feel
Do you expect open arms
We've said it all before
Why did you come for more
You knew we were through
Well, I found my self-esteem
And everything I need
Finally learned how to live on my own
My whole style has changed
And I don't need you
To arrange my life anymore
There was a time I'd welcome you
There was a time I'd take you back
But something deep inside
Tells me that I lied
To myself all along
I hold a place for you that's warm
But I'm afraid of loving you
I'd lose my control
Never let you go away, away
Well, I found my self-esteem
And everything I need
Finally learned how to live on my own
My whole style has changed
And I don't need you
To arrange my life anymore
I just don't care what you have to say
I think it's time for you to leave
My weakness I believe
was living for your needs
Mine you never cared
Well, I found my self-esteem
and everything I need
Finally learned how to live on my own
My whole style has changed
and I don't need you
To arrange my life anymore
To arrange my life anymore
