lyrics

I was looking for somebody
To figure me out and come to love me
Like I was wanting
I was incomplete
Like winning love would justify me

I was looking for somebody
To crack me open, set me free
But I am the lock
And I am the key
I’ve got everything I need

Honey what did you expect
When you’re the one you most neglect?
Its all cause and effect
You accept what you think you deserve
Gotta get up your nerve
Cause you are the water that ends the drought
All the love you need springs from loving yourself
You can’t forget it now
Gotta remember how
To make your own damn bed and sleep in it
Cause you are the one you’ve got to live with

I was looking for somebody
To prove something of myself to me
But I faced myself and now I see
I’ve got everything I need

Honey what did you expect
Forgetting all your self-respect?
Its all cause and effect
You accept what you think you deserve
Gotta get up your nerve
Cause you are the water that ends the drought
All the love you need springs from loving yourself
You can’t forget it now
Gotta remember how
To make your own damn bed and sleep in it
Cause you are the one you’ve got to live with
You are the water that ends the drought
All the love you need springs from loving yourself
You can’t forget it now
Gotta remember how
To make your own damn bed and sleep in it
Cause you are the one who’s got to live with it
