dear insecurity

Dear insecurity When you gonna take your hands off me? When you ever gonna let me be proud of who I am? Oh, insecurity When you gonna take your hands off me? When you ever gonna let me be just the way I am? Dear insecurity I hate the way you make me feel I hate the things you make me think You make me sick to my stomach, I wish that I wasn't me Somedays when I wake up, I see myself in the mirror I feel like what shouldn't be couldn't be clearer My nose, to my clothes, from my chin, to my skin I'll never be good enough, ever again For you, so I'd change for you Then I dyed for you, then you made me blue If I were you, I'd hate me too But I already feel like you do Because you tell me I'm not worth shit And the bad luck's on purpose And if I'm sad, then I deserve it But underneath the surface, I'm hurtin', searchin', and learnin' My imperfections may be perfect Dear insecurity When you gonna take your hands off me? When you ever gonna let me be proud of who I am? Oh, insecurity When you gonna take your hands off me? When you ever gonna let me be just the way I am? Dear insecurity I feel like I'm dying on the inside But I smile it off I'm a mess, I'm depressed, I'm alone and it's all my fault Did I do something wrong? This feeling's unfair You're making me anxious, but why the fuck do I care? I overthink everything 'til my thoughts are impaired I hate everything about me, I think I need some air Drink some water, take a breath Take a moment to be thankful for the reasons that you're blessed It's not about mistakes you made or failures that you had It's all about the memories and little things you have Your freckles and flaws, to your body and bruises Your scars, to your beautiful birth marks, the truth is We're one in the same, so play the cards that you're dealt Nobody likes you more than when you're being yourself Dear insecurity When you gonna take your hands off me? When you ever gonna let me be proud of who I am? Oh, insecurity When you gonna take your hands off me? When you ever gonna let me be just the way I am? Dear insecurity I am proud of the person who I am Nobody's gon' tell me who I am, or who I can be I am taking my life into my hands So tired of hiding who I am, I am me So Dear insecurity When you gonna take your hands off me? When you ever gonna let me be proud of who I am? Oh, insecurity It's time I make you take your hands off me Set me free, I'm gonna let you see I'm proud of who I am Just the way I am I'm proud of who I am
