Inner critic
Inner critic I try to silence
Inner critic it makes itself at home,
It started years ago keeps me up at night, don’t bother being kind because it will just second guess your meaning.
I've tried everything to turn it down
But it don't fight fair (fair), and it's always there (there)
Inner critic won't let no one close
Makes me doubt the ones that care the most
'Cause this parasite ('site) is the jealous type..
Why can't I ever let me win?
Why can't I take a compliment?
'Cause everyone says the nicest things
But I'm never good enough for me
Why can't I let myself feel loved?
Am I afraid I'll mess it up?
Something is broken in my brain
I'll never be good enough for me..
Inner critic never been this loud,
It’s starting to come my outer critic ..
