[Verse 1]
I didn't mean to hurt you
Trust me, I'd rather love you
I would've been happy to apologize (Apologize)
But I thought we were getting along just fine

[Pre-Chorus]
I know better now
I’m a better friend now
Want the next one to stick around (Stick around)

[Chorus]
When it's hard for you to love me, love me
When it's difficult to want me, want me
I need someone who won't give up on me
Who I'm becoming
I need a friend who won't go ghost on me
While I am blooming

[Verse 2]
I didn't mean to blame you
I know we both have flaws
Even butterfliеs need time to learn to fly
When did you dеcide I wasn't worth your time?

[Pre-Chorus]
I know better now
I'm in better hands now
The next one gon' hold it down, down, down
[Chorus]
When it's hard for you to love me, love me
When it's difficult to want me, want me
I need someone who won't give up on me
Who I'm becoming
I need a friend who won't go ghost on me
While I am blooming

[Bridge]
Every day I'm elevating
I'm on my way to being amazing (I'm on my way, I'm on my way)
Don't rush the process of creation (Don't rush, don't rush, don't rush, don't rush)
Through all my seasons you keep waiting

[Chorus]
When it's hard for you to love me, love me
When it's difficult to want me, want me (Want me)
When it's hard for you to love me, love me
When it's difficult to want me, want me (Love me)

[Outro]
When it's hard for you (Love me)
You love me, love me
You love me (Love me)
You love me, love me
You love me
