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 bare Till 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 Till 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 Inner critic's never been this loud Inner critic's never been this loud Inner critic's never been this loud
