I'll Love Myself

I try to open up,
but end up pushing away.
I'm afraid that I'll get hurt again,
and this time not be okay.

I can't take any more pain,
I just wont make it through.
I'll just shelter my heart from feelings,
it has too many scars from you.

You can't hurt me when your gone,
not even if you tried.
And your not here to see,
all the tears I've cried.

No one will ever get my love,
not even the man who should.
I'm scared to death of love,
so I'll close my heart for good.

My time will be spent bettering myself,
instead of wasted on some boy,
who will just play around with my heart,
then break it like a toy.

I am my only priority,
no one else will be concerned.
Cause if I only love myself,
then all my love will be returned.
