She then says that she is not going to change herself. She is going to embrace the tension. In a way she's being a strange kind of Nietzschean superman. It would be pathetic to change her values and equally pathetic to change herself, so she's going to be a self-hater. But now it is a positive decision - she is, in a way, being herself. And, ironically, she probably can love this about herself. A profound song in many ways and a thumpingly good tune.
I think there are some important philosophical messages contained within this song. First, there's Bishop Butler's point, namely that things are what they are, and not other things. 'We are the ones we are'. She also says that she does not love herself and thus finds it hard to understand how anyone else can. Presumably she loves qualities she does not herself instantiate. She can resolve this tension two ways: change her values, or change herself.
