My Mind Ain't Always on My Side

I wake up in the morning with you

Gentle, next to me

You roll over and you grab me in your sleep

Don’t take an ivy degree to see how you feel about me

Cause you tell me constantly

But then the fear creeps in

And my breathing is quick

Second guess each glance

And I start feeling sick

And it sucks me in

Takes me out of this

Moment with you, with you

Oh, I still get scared sometimes

Overwhelmed by insecurity, oh, what if you get bored of me

And change your mind?

I take a couple pills a day

And do my best to meditate

To quiet my mind

Cause I love you

And I know you

Say you’re mine

But my mind ain’t always on my side

I look into your eyes and I can tell you’re falling deep

Sometimes I even catch you talkin’ bout me in your sleep

You wear your heart on your sleeve, can’t keep a secret from me,

And you love me so honestly, earnestly

Then suddenly

The fear creeps in

And my breathing is quick

Second guess each glance

And I start feeling sick

And it sucks me in

Takes me out of this

Moment with you, with you

Oh, I still get scared sometimes

Overwhelmed by insecurity, oh, what if you get bored of me

And change your mind?

I take a couple pills a day

And do my best to meditate

to quiet my mind

Cause I love you

And I know you

Say you’re mine

But my mind ain’t

Why can’t I let a good thing just be good

Why can’t I trust your words like I know I should

Why can’t I let go of the ifs and coulds

Why can’t I let a good thing just be good

Why can’t I let a good thing just be good

Why can’t I trust your words like I know I should

Why can’t I let go of the ifs and coulds

Why can’t I let a good thing just be good

Oh, I still get scared sometimes

Overwhelmed by insecurity, oh, what if you get bored of me

And change your mind?

I take a couple pills a day

And do my best to meditate

To quiet my mind

Cause I love you

And I know you

Say you’re mine

But my mind ain’t always on my side

Hate how my brain gets to spinning

Just when I’m steady feeling

I beg for healing as I’m reeling

Praying to the ceiling

You don’t deserve to have to deal with all this shit I’m feeling

You do it anyway

You love me anyway
