Confidence

Why do I hold

Myself to standards that I can't meet?

I'm overloaded

With expectations, impossibilities

Wouldn't it be so damn easy

If I could be the man they see me as?

Oh, and if only

My younger self could've seen me right now

And when I was a kid, I was top of the mountain

All my confidence was flowing like fountains

I don't know how I've gone so long without it

With a little bit of confidence

I could break the fourth wall down

With a little bit of confidence

I could turn the world around

And step away from hurt

And then watch it all fall down

With a little bit of confidence

'Cause that's all I need

All I need, yeah-yeah

Why am I so

Insufferably mean to myself?

Why do I go

The long way round when you offer help?

Wouldn't it be so damn easy

If I could be the queen you see me as?

They say you grow

But I can't seem to lay my roots down

And when I was a kid, I was top of the mountain

All my confidence was flowing like fountains

I don't know how I've gone so long without it

Without it

With a little bit of confidence

I could break the fourth wall down

With a little bit of confidence

I could turn the world around

And step away from hurt

And then watch it all fall down

With a little bit of confidence

'Cause that's all I need

All I need, yeah-yeah

Tell me, what is confidence?

Is it something I can find?

Hero on a noble quest

Slay the dragon, save a life

I'm no damsel in distress

Only I can save me

Unafraid to be a mess

So I face it bravely

With a little bit of confidence

I could break the fourth wall down

With a little bit of confidence

I could turn the world around

And step away from hurt

And then watch it all fall down

With a little bit of confidence

'Cause that's all I need

All I need, yeah-yeah

(I just needed confidence, yeah)

(I just need some confidence, ooh)
