Lyrics

Inner critic's never been this loud
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
So, keep your kindness, I'll always second guess it, silently
I will always question why anyone would wanna be with me
'Cause I don't know how to not feel this way
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 feeds on all my stress
Sabotaging all of my success
'Cause what it can't destroy (destroy), I can't enjoy (enjoy)
Inner critic amplifies all my flaws (flaws)
Inner critic only sees what I'm not (not)
It belittles all the good that I bear
'Til I don't believe it's there
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
Master of deception, clouding my perception
Changing all my chemistry
Repurposing rejection, into the perfect weapon
To keep me living anxiously
Assuming bad intentions
So, I'll keep second guessing
'Til everyone's the enemy
There's never a connection
That it will never threaten
It wants all of me
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?
'Cause I don't believe a word they say
I'll never be good enough for me
Inner critic's never been this loud
Inner critic's never been this loud
Inner critic's never been this loud
Inner critic's never been this loud
