dear insecurity (feat. Ben Abraham)

Dear insecurity ​When you gonna take your hands off me? ​When you ever gonna let me be ​Proud of who I am? ​Oh, insecurity ​When you gonna take your hands off me? ​When you ever gonna let me be ​Just the way I am? Dear insecurity I hate the way you make me feel I hate the things you make me think ​You make me sick to my stomach ​I wish that I wasn't me ​Some days, when I wake up I see myself in the mirror I feel like what shouldn't be couldn't be clearer ​My nose to my clothes, from my chin to my skin I'll never be good enough ever again For you, so I changed for you Then I'd died for you, then you made me blue ​If I were you, I'd hate me too ​But I already feel like you do Because​, you tell me I'm not worth shit And the bad luck's on purpose And if I'm sad then I deserve it But underneath the surface I'm hurting, searching and learning ​My imperfections make me perfect Dear insecurity ​When you gonna take your hands off me? ​When you ever gonna let me be ​Proud of who I am? ​Oh, insecurity ​When you gonna take your hands off me? ​When you ever gonna let me be ​Just the way I am? Dear insecurity I ​feel like I'm dying on the inside ​But I smile it off I'm a mess, I'm depressed, I'm alone and it's all my fault ​Did I do something wrong? This feeling's unfair You're making me anxious but why the fuck do I care? I overthink everything til' my thoughts are impaired I hate everything about me I think I need some air Drink some water, take a breath Take a moment to be thankful for the reasons that you're blessed It's not about mistakes you made or failures that you had ​It's all about the memories and little things you have Your freckles and flaws to your body and bruises ​Your scars to your beautiful ​birth marks, ​the truth is ​We're one in the same So play the cards that you're dealt Nobody likes you more than when you're being yourself Dear insecurity ​When you gonna take your hands off me? ​When you ever gonna let me be ​Proud of who I am? ​Oh, insecurity ​When you gonna take your hands off me? ​When you ever gonna let me be ​Just the way I am? Dear insecurity I am ​Proud of the person who I am Nobody's gon' tell me who I am Or who I can be I am ​Taking my life into ​my hands Their tired of hiding who ​I am I am me, ​so Dear insecurity ​When you gonna take your hands off me? ​When you ever gonna let me be Proud of who I am? ​Oh, insecurity It's time I make you take your hand off me Set me free, I'm gonna let you see I'm proud of who I am Just the way I am I'm proud of who I am
