dear insecurity (feat. ben abraham)

Dear insecurity, when you gonna take your hands off me?

When you ever gonna let me be proud of who I am?

Oh, insecurity, when you gonna take your hands off me?

When you ever gonna let me be just the way I am?

Dear insecurity

I hate the way you make me feel

I hate the things you make me think

You make me sick to my stomach

I wish that I wasn't me

Some days, when I wake up I see myself in the mirror

I feel like what shouldn't be, couldn't be clearer

My nose to my clothes, from my chin to my skin

I'll never be good enough ever again

For you

So I changed for you

Then I died for you

Then you made me blue

If I were you, I'd hate me too

But I already feel like you do

Because you tell me I'm not worth shit

And the bad luck's on purpose

And if I'm sad then I deserve it

But underneath the surface I'm hurting, searching, and learning

My imperfections make me perfect

Dear insecurity, when you gonna take your hands off me?

When you ever gonna let me be proud of who I am?

Oh, insecurity, when you gonna take your hands off me?

When you ever gonna let me be just the way I am? Yeah

Dear insecurity

I feel like I'm dying on the inside

But I smile it off

I'm a mess, I'm depressed

I'm alone and it's all my fault

Did I do something wrong?

This feeling's unfair

You're making me anxious

But why the fuck do I care?

I overthink everything till my thoughts are impaired

I hate everything about me, I think I need some air

Drink some water, take a breath

Take a moment to be thankful for the reasons that you're blessed

It's not about mistakes you made or failures that you had

It's all about the memories and little things you have

Your freckles and flaws to your body and bruises

You're scars to your beautiful, birthmarks, the truth is

We're one and the same, so play the cards that you're dealt

Nobody likes you more than when you're being yourself

Dear insecurity, when you gonna take your hands off me?

When you ever gonna let me be proud of who I am?

Oh, insecurity, when you gonna take your hands off me?

When you ever gonna let me be just the way I am? Yeah

Dear insecurity

I am proud of the person who I am

Nobody's gon' tell me who I am or who I can be

I am taking my life into my hands

Are tired of hiding who I am, I am me

So

Dear insecurity, when you gonna take your hands off me?

When you ever gonna let me be proud of who I am?

Oh, insecurity, it's time I make you take your hands off me

Set me free, I'm gonna let you see

I'm proud of who I am

Just the way I am

I'm proud of who I am
