i never used to feel this way
like i wasn't good enough
like i wasn't okay
then you came along and wrecked everything
your voice of doubt screams inside my head
second guessing every thought i wouldn't have instead
little by little you're driving me crazy
these thoughts run through my mind at night
and slowly i'm consumed by dread
and i've been searching for a light
to blind the shadows where i'm haunted
you stole my sense of identity
and replaced my confidence with insecurity
now i'm just a shell of who i used to be
is there a peace that i can find
something that can settle down my anxious mind
something that can give me hope for a new life
these thoughts run through my mind at night
and slowly i'm consumed by dread
and i've been searching for a light
to blind the shadows where i'm haunted
