  • For all the times that you rained on my parade
    And all the clubs you get in using my name
    You think you broke my heart, oh girl, for goodness' sake
    You think I'm crying on my own, well, I ain't

    And I didn't wanna write a song 'cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care
    I don't, but you still hit my phone up
    And baby, I'll be movin' on and I think you should be somethin'
    I don't wanna hold back, maybe you should know that
    My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
    And I never like to admit that I was wrong
    And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on
    But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own

    'Cause if you like the way you look that much
    Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
    And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
    You should go and love yourself

    When you told me that you hated my friends
    The only problem was with you and not them
    And every time you told me my opinion was wrong
    And tried to make me forget where I came from

    And I didn't wanna write a song 'cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care
    I don't, but you still hit my phone up
    And baby, I'll be movin' on and I think you should be somethin'
    I don't wanna hold back, maybe you should know that
    My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
    And I never like to admit that I was wrong
    And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on
    But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own

    'Cause if you like the way you look that much
    Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
    And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
    You should go and love yourself

    For all the times that you made me feel small
    I fell in love, now I feel nothin' at all
    I never felt so low when I was vulnerable
    Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?

    'Cause if you like the way you look that much
    Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
    And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
    You should go and love yourself
    'Cause if you like the way you look that much
    Oh baby, you should go and love yourself (yeah)
    And if you think (you think) that I'm (that I'm)
    Still holdin' on to somethin'
    You should go and love yourself Writer/s: Benjamin Joseph Levin, Edward Christopher Sheeran, Justin Bieber
