Crushed

You can preach togetherness
But give loners a chance
Before you can love anybody else
You gotta have a crush on yourself
Have a crush on yourself

"Don't let the bastards grind you down"
Said the bastards, while they pushed us to the ground
"Don't let the hatred fill your heart"
Said the haters, while they filled us with distrust

It makes sense to bite the hand
That feeds us all these insecurities
But my teeth are blunt
And my conviction is weak

You can preach togetherness
But give loners a chance
Before you can fall in love with the rest of the world
You gotta have a crush on yourself
Have a crush on yourself
You gotta have a crush on yourself
Have a crush on yourself

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Who is the most anxious of them all?"
"Don't let them fool you into self-hate"
Said, while they turned self-love into a catchphrase

It makes sense to bite the hand
That feeds us all these insecurities
But my teeth are blunt
And my conviction is weak

You can preach togetherness
But give loners a chance
Before you can fall in love with the rest of the world
You gotta have a crush on yourself
Have a crush on yourself
You gotta have a crush on yourself
Have a crush on yourself
Gotta, gotta, gotta have a crush on yourself
Have a crash!

You can preach togetherness
But give loners a chance
Before you're getting crushed by the weight of the world
You gotta have a crush on yourself
Have a crush on yourself
You gotta have a crush on yourself
Have a crush on yourself
