The Critic In Me

I've been stuck

Unable to sleep

When I'm alone and feeling beat

Breathing hurts

The air is too thick

The thought of being forgotten

Well it makes me sick

Yeah being forgotten

Well it makes me sick

'Cause it's true

I'm still the boy who wants to dream

Been caught in the loop

With the critic in me

Never impressed

With ninety percent

Anything less and I scrap my attempt

But as a child, it was worth it

The price to be perfect

Now I'm just nervous to try

Oh, why

Yeah it's true

I'm still the boy who wants to dream

Been caught in the loop

With the critic in me

Yeah I know I'm impatient

And the internet's a lie

But someone's gotta tell me I'll be alright

No it's never been easy

For anyone who loves

Yeah we're all heartbroken optimists

Who never live enough

It's true

I'm still the boy who wants to dream

I'm caught in the loop

With the critic in me

I know I'm impatient

And the internet's a lie

Someone's gotta tell me I'll be alright

No it's never been easy

For anyone who loves

Yeah we're all heartbroken optimists

Who never live enough

It's true

Been caught in the loop
