Negative Self-Talk

[Intro / Verse 1]
I was doing fine
before I met you
Now I am
drowning, just trying
to get through
Yeah, I was fine…
then I
met you…
Now I am
trying to
remember
who the hell
I was…
Before you
shaped
me into your
projection…
I learned what
to say
to stay safe…
Fuck… you were supposed
to be that place…
Fuck… you were supposed
to be that place…

[Verse 2]
I let you make me
feel unlovable
I never felt good
enough.
Under the
illusion of your
“love”
I was begging you
to love me
“unconditionally”
While
I let you
guide me
here,
where
you kicked me
while I was
down…
Now I’m full
of negative self-talk
You have me
looking like a
fucking clown

[Chorus]
Do you hear me
when I say this shit
or are you already
checked out?
I was screaming
quietly
while you never
heard me out…
You never fucking
heard me out…

[Verse 3]
I trusted
you with my heart…
And you
fucking
ripped it out
You whispered
shit into
my ear,
and
filled me
with
self-doubt
I kept
begging
you to care
I was
fucking
desperate for
your love…

[Chorus]
Do you hear me
when I say this shit
or are you already
checked out?
I was screaming
quietly
while you never
heard me out…
You never fucking
heard me out…

[Bridge]
I kept letting you ruin my
name...

I kept letting you wear me down...

I kept letting your lies be truth...

I kept letting you mess with my head...

I kept letting you wear me down…

I kept letting you wear me down…

[Outro]
I lost myself
trying to stay...
I shut my
mouth
anyway…
I was fine
that’s the truth…
until love…
sounded
like you…
I kept letting you wear me down…
I kept letting you wear me down…
I kept letting you wear me down…
