[Chorus]
Dear insecurity
âWhen you gonna take your hands off me?
âWhen you ever gonna let me be
âProud of who I am?
âOh, insecurity
âWhen you gonna take your hands off me?
âWhen you ever gonna let me be
âJust the way I am?
Dear insecurity
â[Verse 1]
I hate the way you make me feel
I hate the things you make me think
âYou make me sick to my stomach
âI wish that I wasn t me
âSome days, when I wake up I see myself in the mirror
I feel like what shouldn t be couldn t be clearer
âMy 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
âIf I were you, I d hate me too
âBut I already feel like you do
Becauseâ, 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
[Chorus]
Dear insecurity
âWhen you gonna take your hands off me?
âWhen you ever gonna let me be
âProud of who I am?
âOh, insecurity
âWhen you gonna take your hands off me?
âWhen you ever gonna let me be
âJust the way I am?
Dear insecurity
â[Verse 2]
I âfeel like I m dying on the inside
âBut I smile it off
I m a mess, I m depressed, I m alone and it s all my fault
âDid i do something wrong? This feeling s unfair
You re making me anxious but why the 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
âIt s all about the memories and little things you have
Your freckles and flaws to your body and bruises
âYour scars to your beautiful âbirth marks, âthe truth is
âWe re one in the same
So play the cards that you re dealt
Nobody likes you more than when you re being yourself
[Chorus]
Dear insecurity
âWhen you gonna take your hands off me?
âWhen you ever gonna let me be
âProud of who I am?
âOh, insecurity
âWhen you gonna take your hands off me?
âWhen you ever gonna let me be
âJust the way I am?
Dear insecurity
â[Bridge]
I am
âProud of the person who I am
Nobody s gon tell me who I am
Or who i can be
I am
âTaking my life into âmy hands
Their tired of hiding who âI am
I am me, âso
â[Chorus]
Dear insecurity
âWhen you gonna take your hands off me?
âWhen you ever gonna let me be
Proud of who I am?
âOh, insecurity
It s time I make you take your handS off me
Set me free, I m gonna let you see
I m proud of who I am
[Outro]
Just the way I am
I m proud of who I am
