Inner Critic

Inner critic's never been this loud

I've tried everything to turn it down

But it don't fight fair and it's always there

Inner critic won't let no one close

Makes me doubt the ones that care the most

'Cause this parasite 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, I can't enjoy

Inner critic amplifies all my flaws

Inner critic only sees what I'm 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
