I Can't Be Around Myself
I know you said you’re okay
But these mood swings get in your way
And stability is not a possibility
When you can’t be around yourself
I ran to forget about lust
I drank to forget the color of your car
I hid so nobody could ask
I smoked when I wanted to talk
I said things I didn’t want to say
I hurt the ones that I love
It would be nice to forgive myself
But maybe we both should sing along
Maybe we both should sing along
I know I’m not okay,
And this position is hard to maintain.
And stability is not a possibility
When you can’t be around yourself.
I know you think I’m okay,
Cuz I’m happily drunk and I stayed,
You know I can’t say no to you,
I know that you never cared.
Some things I will hide,
I’ll keep them at the back of my mind
I’ll keep listening you talk about your ex
If that helps you find your way.
I said things I didn’t want to say
I hurt the ones that I love
It would be nice to forgive myself
Maybe we both should sing along
I know I’m not okay
And this position is hard to maintain
And stability is not a possibility
When you can’t be around yourself.
I know you said you’re okay
But the kind of life you don’t want
Keeps pushing its way
It’s complicated
I know why you get jaded.
You can’t be around yourself
I know I’m not okay,
And these mood swings get in my way
And stability is not a possibility
When you can’t be around yourself.
I know you think I’m okay,
Cuz I’m happily drunk and I stayed,
And vulnerability is the only possibility
If you want to be around yourself
Vulnerability is the only possibility
If you want to be around yourself
