Insecurities
All of these insecurities
Voices of doubt whispering in my head
You’re not good enough,
You’ll never be good enough
I can’t let anyone else in
So I push everyone new away
You think you know me,
But you’re not inside these walls I’ve built
And there’s no door and there’s no key
All of these insecurities
Voices of doubt whispering in my head
You’re not good enough,
You’ll never be good enough
I wish I could be
I sit inside these walls,
Alone in my self imposed prison
I wonder what it’s like outside
Is the sun shining?
People smile and people laugh
I long to be that carefree
Maybe I could be
If I wasn’t so afraid
All of these insecurities
Voices of doubt whispering in my head
You’re not good enough,
You’re not good enough,
All of these insecurities
I’m not good enough,
I’m not good enough
