Why am I so anxious?
Worrying about nothing
Smile to every stranger
I walk past on the street
What is it with this pressure?
Feeling like a failure
Pleasing people I don't even think that I'll keep
I've got some flaws
I know I'm wrong
Every word that I've said On repeat in my head
I'm standing tall But I'm in free fall
The mistakes that I've made Coming with me to bed
Why do I take all of the blame on your behalf?
Give a little more than what I have
Why am I so good when it feels so * bad?
Why,
why,
why do I pretend I'm alright?
Why,
why,
why am I so good when it feels so * bad?
I'm overthinking And I'm sinking
All the while I try my best to prove that I am tough
Feel like a misfit Dressed really pretty
Like if I was perfect somehow That would be enough
Why do I sit a little straighter than I
would Smile a little brighter than I could
Push myself a little longer than I should Why
do I take all of the blame on your behalf?
Give a little more than what I have Why
am I so good when it feels so * bad?
Why do
I pretend I'm alright?
Why,
why,
why am I so good when it feels so * bad?
Why,
why,
why am I so good when it feels so * bad?
