Hesta Banks - Self-Esteem Lyrics

I'm not fishing for sympathy
I'm just having a hard
Time struggling with
My self-esteem, oh
My self-esteem, oh

I'm not feeling the jealousy
I'm just having a hard
Time rooting in my
My self-belief, no
I just believe in every lie

Like, I'll never achieve the aim
And I gotta be perfect everyday
I'm scraping by
I got no time, I'll dry my eyes

'Cause I'm blind to the positive things
When there's mistake it's deafening
Ignore my needs to people please

I would never sing these words
To myself as a little girl
I'm just struggling with the world
I would never sing these words
To myself as a little girl
I'm just struggling with the world

I've tried talking myself in line
I've cried all of my tears out every night
I don't believe, no
That it's the way it has to be

I'm just wanting to love myself
Share all of the love with someone else
And to be free unapologetically

I would never sing these words
To myself as a little girl
I'm just struggling with the world
I would never sing these words
To myself as a little girl
I'm just struggling
With the world

I'm learning to be kind
On my gentle mind
Learn to speak my truth
And push for what I want
I'm careful with my words
I'm not gonna blur the meaning
Of what I mean to say
And what I mean to say is

I'm a sensitive soul
And I got no control over
Hearing your opinion of me
I take it too seriously
I'm a sensitive soul
And I got no control over
Hearing your opinion of me
I take it too seriously

I would never sing these words
To myself as a little girl
I'm just struggling with the world
I would never sing these words
To myself as a little girl
I'm just struggling with the world
I would never sing these words
To myself as a little girl
I'm just struggling with the world
I would never sing these words
To myself as a little girl
I'm just struggling with the world
