To Take Care Of Myself Again - Christopher Owens

Teach me how to love

Somewhere I’d forgotten

Not to love another

But to learn to love myself again

Teach me how to give

I’m so tired of taking

I’m so tired of breaking

Again, again, again

Teach me how to care

Not for you, my best friend

Not your brothers’s children

But to take care of myself again

Teach me how to live

Unafraid of dying

Unafraid of trying

Unafraid to fall

Teach me how to dream

Letting go of my fears

Let them fall just like tears

Again, again, again

Teach me how to care

Not for you, my best friend

Not your brothers’s children

But to take care of myself again

Not to love another

But to learn to love myself again

Not for you, my best friend

But to take care of myself again
