Self Care As An Act Of Self Care

from Selfish by DRÄTS

/

lyrics

I left the way I came,
still sick, and always sad
Due East, and never looking
back at what I had

I waited for a time When
things weren’t always tough
To fix our problems
turns out you can’t wait enough

When self care feels like
just a choice
You’re on your own
To find your voice
I can’t do the work for you

You can’t heal all at once
But that doesn’t mean to stop
Each time I turn around
You’re further from the top

But I can’t carry you
The way I did before
I’ve exhausted all my strength
To prove you can be somethin​​g more

If not for you, then try for me
Please fight I want you to succeed
But I can no longer accede
To therapizing you while
I’ve got my own nerves to soothe
And now it’s time for you to move
Cause I’ve got my own shit to prove
Make way for me to take up room
And love myself without you here with me
