Let's Be Friends - An Original Song about Self-Love
I wrote this as a teen struggling with self-loathing to a ridiculous degree. It became a personal anthem in the following years and helped guide me on a long journey to actually liking myself. Hope it has a similar impact on anyone listening who needs a pick-me-up!
(Lyrics below the cut)
-
Well, hey there Sofie,
I wanted to sing a song for you.
I know I was never that kind to you.
So this is how I’ll say that today all that ends.
Let’s be friends.
-
You have a beautiful smile,
So don’t hide it, it’s bright and it
Brightens people’s days.
You also have a nice nose and caring gaze,
So don’t cover your face, it’s all really great.
You’re shy about your acne, you think that you look nasty---
But I’m here to say no one else is thinking that.
And if they are,
Forget them. They’re tacky.
Just own the skin you’re in, lady.
I have your back, Sofie.
-
You love lots of stuff but hide it from everyone, even me.
I want you to know, it’s okay to be happy.
It’s okay to let yourself have fun genuinely.
Please just let yourself be you.
If you do, I’ll let myself be me, too.
-
Well, hey there, Sofie.
I wanted to sing a song to you
To say we could take on the world, us two.
So— why don’t we do it? What’s holding us back?
I promise I’ll stop putting you under attack.
So now that that weight’s gone,
Let’s sing this song and try to get along.
Let’s be friends.
Let’s be friends.
Let’s be friends.
-
You try your best and give your all,
You do what you can and answer every call---
But now I’ve got a request
For you,
Try your best to love me too.
Let’s be friends.
Let’s be friends.
Let’s be friends.
Let’s be friends.
Let’s be friends.
Let’s be friends.
Let’s be friends.
Let’s be friends.

"The high from the low, the art from the pop
Cannot tell the difference because there really is not
So for a time you’re in love with them all
Gathering your power before everything falls"
