Stories That I Tell Myself Lyrics

I don't usually go out to get a coffee

Which is odd because I like to treat myself

Maybe I just want a stranger to talk to

Give a smile to someone else

Overthinking's got me thinking 'bout intentions

Don't know why it's gotten twisted in my mind

Kinda feeling like I need an intervention

Cause sometimes

The story that I tell myself

Is that I don't deserve the validation

Cause growing up I learned

That you should never search

For praise and reputation

Here I go again

Living in my head

With the stories that I tell myself

The stories that I tell myself

Now I'm wondering

How much time I've spent

On the stories that I tell myself

The stories that I tell myself

Take a seat and then I start a conversation

In my head I've got the perfect thing to say

I wish I didn't but I need the confirmation

I'm still enough in every single way

Part of me is holding on

To someone that I know I'll never be

A picture perfect version of the person

That I think they want to see

Here I go again

Living in my head

With the stories that I tell myself

The stories that I tell myself

Now I'm wondering

How much time I've spent

On the stories that I tell myself

The stories that I tell myself

The stories that I tell myself

I think it's time to write another chapter now

Something unexpected I can figure out

Care a little less about the this is how

It's all supposed to be

Here I go again

Living in my head

With the stories that I tell myself

The stories that I tell myself

Now I'm wondering

How much time I've spent

On the stories that I tell myself

The stories that I tell myself
