​dear insecurity Lyrics by gnash

we

2018

[Chorus: Ben Abraham]
Dear insecurity
When you gonna take your hands off me?
​When you ever gonna let me be
​Proud of who I am?
​Oh, insecurity
​When you gonna take your hands off me?
​When you ever gonna let me be
​Just the way I am?
Dear insecurity

​[Verse 1: gnash]
I hate the way you make me feel
I hate the things you make me think
​You make me sick to my stomach
​I wish that I wasn't me
​Some days, when I wake up I see myself in the mirror
I feel like what shouldn't be couldn't be clearer
​My 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 dyed for you, then you made me blue
​If I were you, I'd hate me too
​But I already feel like you do
Because​, 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: Ben Abraham]
Dear insecurity
​When you gonna take your hands off me?
​When you ever gonna let me be
​Proud of who I am?
​Oh, insecurity
​When you gonna take your hands off me?
​When you ever gonna let me be
​Just the way I am?
Dear insecurity

​[Verse 2: gnash]
I ​feel like I'm dying on the inside
​But I smile it off
I'm a mess, I'm depressed, I'm alone and it's all my fault
​Did I do something wrong? This feeling's unfair
You're making me anxious but why the fuck 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
​It's all about the memories and little things you have
Your freckles and flaws to your body and bruises
​Your scars to your beautiful ​birthmarks, ​the truth is
​We're one in the same
So play the cards that you're dealt
Nobody likes you more than when you're being yourself

[Chorus: Ben Abraham]
Dear insecurity
​When you gonna take your hands off me?
​When you ever gonna let me be
​Proud of who I am?
​Oh, insecurity
​When you gonna take your hands off me?
​When you ever gonna let me be
​Just the way I am?
Dear insecurity

​[Bridge: gnash]
I am
​Proud of the person who I am
Nobody's gon' tell me who I am
Or who I can be (Mmm)
I am
​Taking my life into ​my hands
They're tired of hiding who ​I am
I am me, ​so

​[Chorus: gnash]
Dear insecurity
​When you gonna take your hands off me?
​When you ever gonna let me be
Proud of who I am?
​Oh, 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: gnash]
Just the way I am
I'm proud of who I am
