How Can I Love You

How can I love you, When I don't love myself? How can I care for you, When I don't care for myself? I always tell you, How wonderful you are, How kind you are, And that you are handsome, And loving. But I don't feel this way, For myself. Behind closed doors, When you're not with me, I am always crying. Always hiding my tears. I am not wonderful, I am not beautiful, And I don't deserve you. But I love you. And if I can't feel beautiful, And ever care for me, How can I love you?
