The Ways I Punish Myself

I second-guess every word I say

Try to find a mirror that I don't hate

I get hungry but I never complain

I don't interrupt, don't speak too loud

I'm confident but not too proud

Do what I'm told, and I never get old

I'll be harder on myself than anyone could ever be

You don't have to yell

You don't have to hit me

I don't need no help

If you couldn't tell

I don't need no help

Punishing myself

I don't ever think of my own needs

Set my standards too high to meet

And I will never say, "I disagree"

And if I choose to sleep around

Don't want 'em talkin' all over town

I got a two-drink limit now

I'll be harder on myself than anyone could ever be

You don't have to yell

You don't have to hit me

I don't need no help

If you couldn't tell

I don't need no help

Punishing myself

Nothing I say is ever good enough

Alone at night, I'm chewing myself up

Oh, oh, mmm

Nothing I say is ever good enough

Alone at night, I'm chewing myself up
