Harshest Critic

Late night

TV makes me daydream on this

Lame night

What if all my fears were on display

Right in front of all the world under a spotlight?

Would they still be on my side?

After all the curtains close

They'll leave their seats and drive on home

They might not know a single word I said

If the highlight reel is on repeat

And only on repeat for me

Could I say I'd do it all again?

And if I'm being honest

Don't know if I can tell you

Who's the harshest critic in the room

It could be the studio audience

But they're just paying for admission

And I'm the one with everything to lose

Who's the harshest critic in the room?

I'm terrified

Of the way I look when it's through strangers' eyes

I wish I had a way to peek inside their minds

But it wouldn't fix the problems I see through mine

It's just how I'm wired

After all the curtains close

They'll leave their seats and drive on home

They might not know a single word I said

If the highlight reel is on repeat

And only on repeat for me

Could I say I'd do it all again?

If I'm being honest

Don't know if I can tell you

Who's the harshest critic in the room

It could be the studio audience

But they're just paying for admission

And I'm the one with everything to lose

Who's the harshest critic in the room?

Why is being good to myself

For someone else?

Ooh why is being good to myself

For someone else?

If I'm being honest

Don't know if I can tell you

Who's the harshest critic in the room

It could be the studio audience

But they're just paying for admission

And I'm the one with everything to lose

Who's the harshest critic in the room?

Who's the harshest critic in the room?

Who's the harshest critic in the room?
