lyrics

It must be painful to watch how I self-sabotage
You see right through all the flaws I try to camouflage
Just when I get past my shit I’m right back in the thick of it
Your patience is wearing thin

Don’t expect these walls to just crumble down
Or that my path will magically be found
The more you’re forcing me to change
The more I’ll dig my heels in the ground

It must be hard to put up with my self-consciousness
To be supportive of one who lacks in confidence
I’ll find a way to deflect your every compliment
Your patience is wearing thin

Don’t expect these walls to just crumble down
Or that my path will magically be found
The more you’re forcing me to change
The more I’ll dig my heels in the ground

Someday I’ll want to get better
Somehow I’ll change from within
But right now this mounting pressure
Isn’t helping me try to begin

Don’t expect these walls to just crumble down
Or that my path will magically be found
The more you’re forcing me to change
The more I’ll dig my heels in the ground
