Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once I borrowed the canvas to my lover's heart
But the store was too full
And that envelope had a letter
In that scarcely room
Back in silence is when it all began falling apart
I was always a clumsy speaker
And we couldn't find one another
In that scarcely room
[Verse 2]
Mark my words, I say I'm guilty of no poetry
I was working, I confess, see the courage in her eyes
In that scarcely room
There were words of disagreement
But we talked to find the answers
In a mutual disposition
In that scarcely room
[Verse 3]
How can I find a reason to love you
When I don't love myself?
How can I find a reason to love you
When I don't love myself, self?
How can I find a reason to love you
When I don't love myself?
How can I find a reason to love you
When I don't love myself, self?
[Verse 4]
Shout at me, and there were traits of insecurity
See the man had stole the fire
So it's her who put the flame out
In that scarcely room
Courted dress for the occasion
Yet not filled with glee
His hands reaching for the curtain
She was quick to put the light out
In that scarcely room
[Verse 5]
How can I find a reason to love you
When I don't love myself?
How can I find a reason to love you
When I don't love myself, self?
How can I find a reason to love you
When I don't love myself?
How can I find a reason to love you
When I don't love myself, self?
[Verse 6]
How can I find a reason to love you
When I don't love myself?
How can I find a reason to love you
When I don't love myself, self?
