Proper Attitude Lyrics by Oakman

Violent Oblivion

2024

[Verse 1]
I wear a smile
And a proper attitude on me
To show you how
Today I'm feeling terrific
Why don't you see?
I am just pretending to be
Flawless
And emotionless

[Pre-Chorus]
But there's something going on with me, yeah
Going on with me, well
Tons of things that I drag
Heavily like a convict's ball
I won't disagree, yeah
I won't disagree, well
You know
I love

[Chorus]
To ruin everything I believed in
To mess up and throw it all away
I'm sorry, honey, but I
I have to admit that I've tried
I've tried to feel good

[Verse 2]
Few months later
Here I am
Just still dealing with this
The fortrеss that I've built
Just no longer exists
Why can't you see?
I feel likе a naked baby
Vulnerable
And assailable

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause there's something going on with me, yeah
Going on with me, well
They've always loved to

[Chorus]
Ruin everything I believed in
To mess up and throw it all away
I'm sorry, honey, but I
I have to admit that I've tried

[Post-Chorus]
But I can't spend one more night exhausting you
With my incapacity to face up to this reality
I'm going to face the fact that
I'll never be good enough
Not enough for you

(Ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]
I'll never be good enough for anyone
Never been good enough for me
My mind called me and told me so

[Chorus]
I'm going to face the fact that
I'll mess up and throw it all away
I'm sorry, honey, but I
I have to admit that I've tried

[Post-Chorus]
But I can't spend one more night exhausting you
With my incapacity to face up to this reality
I'm going to face the fact that
I'll never be good enough
And never feel good
