lyrics

my skin feel hypersensitive
clenching both my fists
press lips together
I can’t see past the steam on my glasses

maybe I’m just afraid of getting older
or maybe it’s my natural way
but I feel like I work so much harder
to end up staying in the same place
and no, it’s not a race
so why do I allow myself to see what they do
and feel so unremarkable?
oh I do
I try to be the best that I can
but no one disappoints me more than…

I think I’m a narcissist
obsessed with the C
I need to leave the room
don’t follow me

maybe I’m just afraid of getting older
or maybe it’s my natural way
but I feel like I work so much harder
to end up staying in the same place
and no, it’s not a race
so why do I allow myself to see what they do
and feel so unremarkable?
oh I do
I try to be the best that I can
but no one disappoints me more than…

people tell me all these nice things
but it’s easy to believe a lie
and my hands are as messy as my hair is as messy as my head
is as messy as everything I do, ooh
I want to be perfect
but it’s all painfully below average
I’m a wreck

maybe I’m just afraid of getting older
or maybe it’s my natural way
but I feel like I work so much harder
to end up staying in the same place
and no, it’s not a race
so why do I allow myself to see what they do
and feel so unremarkable?
oh I do
I try to be the best that I can
but no one disappoints me more than…
