Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You ready?
No
[Verse 2]
I do this thing where I close off
My feelings and I take my clothes off
So I don't have to open up to my boyfriend
I told my friends that I'm fine
But really, I'm losin' my mind
They're drinkin', I'm thinkin' too much so I avoid them
[Verse 3]
Suckin' in my stomach, side effects of fitting in
Won't cut my hair 'cause I'm scared
God forbid I have my own opinion
[Verse 4]
It's my fear of lookin' like a dumbass
Sayin' somethin' that I shouldn't have
It's holdin' me back, holdin' me back, holdin' me back
My fear of never being good enough
So I ignore what I want
It's holdin' me back, holdin' me back
[Verse 5]
But I'm over that
Over, over, over, over, over
Over that
Over, over, over, over, over
[Verse 6]
I'm overbite on my tongue
When people tell me I'm too young
To say all the things that I do in my songs
Sensing all of these side effects of fitting in
I don't know shit, let me live
God forbid I have my own opinion
[Verse 7]
It's my fear of lookin' like a dumbass
Sayin' somethin' that I shouldn't have
It's holdin' me back, holdin' me back, holdin' me back
My fear of never being good enough
So I ignore what I want
It's holdin' me back, holdin' me back
[Verse 8]
But I'm over that
Over, over, over, over, over
Over that
Over, over, over, over, over
Over that
Over, over, over, over, over
[Verse 9]
It's my fear of lookin' like a dumbass
Sayin' somethin' that I shouldn't have
It's holdin' me back, holdin' me back, holdin' me
It's my fear of never being good enough
So I didn't know when I'm not
It's holdin' me back, holdin' me back, holdin' me
