You can't ever look past the way that you yourself felt
Talk to yourself, well, that's the meaning of self-help
And don't beat yourself up in the pursuit of self-happiness
'Cause half the battle's asking passionately just what "happy" is

Take some time off to self-reflect and self-measure
Sometimes you need to be self-centered
To understand yourself better
I'm feeling self-possessed without the selfishness of self-obsession
But if I do this for myself and no one else, then it is self-expression

Self-confident, in that I'll never let myself forfeit
Every word I write, I'm certain I'm just painting a self-portrait
And to all the self-destructive people
Who feel they'll never be themselves again
Just know I understand that self-inflicted pain is self-defense

So don't sell yourself short or label yourself as stupid
Because when you've hit rock-bottom,
Every movement is a self-improvement
