There's a voice saying I'm a failure if I quit

It's the same one saying that I can't make it

And I wanna scream but I live in an apartment

Where the carpet smells and all the walls are paper thin

They said we could be anything in seventh grade

I guess I was dumb enough to believe what they said

And now I'm just another dreamer that LA tore apart

How do you get out of your head

Telling yourself you won't make it

And second nature is to second guess or when you

Burn every bridge before you cross

Wave a white flag before you lost

How do you not self sabotage

I miss weddings and funerals and honest I

Don't know how to answer when my Mom asks why

I'm still trying to tell myself that I'm not wasting a life

And I push away love when I need it

Write these songs and then delete it

Stay awake all night wondering why

Still wondering why

How do you get out of your head

Telling yourself you won't make it

And second nature is to second guess or when you

Burn every bridge before you cross

Wave a white flag before you lost

How do you not self sabotage

I don't need a backseat driver

Trying to give myself some grace

Been living with myself full time and

I'm finally trying to see things face to face

How do you get out of your head

Telling yourself you won't make it

And second nature is to second guess

You burn every bridge before you cross

Wave a white flag before you lost

How do you not self sabotage Oh

The only one in my way is me

How do I learn to set me free

How do you not self sabotage
