story i tell myself Lyrics by Lindsay Ell

Love Myself - EP

2024

[Verse 1]
Some days I'm feeling I'm not pretty enough
I'll take the wheel but, but I won't get it done
I'm overthinking 'til I'm stuck in the mud
I'm exhausted from bad self-talking
[Pre-Chorus]
The devil I know isn't good enough for me
Running uphill 'til there's nothing left of me
What would it feel like if I could believe?
All of my doubt is insecurity
I know my pride can get the best of me
How do I heal when something cut so deep?
[Chorus]
I'm so tired of the story I tell myself
Somebody else is more deserving
The lies don't work when I'm doing well
But it hurts like hell to hear
The story I tell myself
[Verse 2]
I know I'm worthy of so much better than this
It's hard to think bout everything that I've missed
And being vulnerable doesn't feel like a risk
But there's no hope in staying broken
[Pre-Chorus]
The devil I know isn't good enough for me
Running uphill 'til there's nothing left of me
What would it feel like if I could believe?
[Chorus]
I'm so tired of the story I tell myself
Somebody else is more deserving
The lies don't work when I'm doing well
But it hurts like hell to hear
The story I tell myself
[Bridge]
And I know that it's in my mind
Just wanna see what the other side looks like
Wish I could rewrite
The story I tell myself
And I know it'll be alright
Just wanna step out into the light
Wish I, wish I could rewrite
The story I tell myself
And I know that it's in my mind
Just wanna see what the other side looks like
I—
[Chorus]
I'm so tired of the story I tell myself
Somebody else is more deserving
The lies don't work when I'm doing well
But it hurts like hell to hear
The story I tell myself
