We always talk about each other
But we never credit ourselves
For all the steps we’ve made
We just lock ourselves in competitive hell
It’s been a long week
It’s been a long year
We deserve a fuckin break
All of this resistance
To love ourselves makes distance
And closes all those doors
We wish someone would come and open
Just digging this hole
Until it’s harder to climb out
I’m getting killed by my self doubt
How should I expect your love
When I can’t give the same to myself
Why do I think I’m running a race
When nobody is setting the pace
What’s the point of having friends
If you resent them
For what you think you don’t have
It doesn’t help us to compare

Every day I wake up
I gotta plug in
Or I might miss out
On everything that’s happening
But most times it’s bad actors
Or it’s inside jokes
Am I the only one who feels a little disconnected
Day in and day out
It’s all the same thing
Day in and day out I wanna break free
But I’m afraid that I’m the only one
Cover your ears
Nobody’s saying anything you wanna hear
Just cut the cord
And find out what you’ve been missing outside of your front door
I’ll admit I feel a little disconnected
I’ll admit I feel a little left out
I’ll admit that I feel like I can’t hang
I’ll admit I’ve got a lot of self doubts
I don’t mean disrespect I just feel
We’d be a lot better off
Making some real world connections
Instead of hiding in a screen
And only bonding over
Drama that the algorithm wants us to care about
And I’m just missing everyone
I just want to reach out and touch someone
I just want to reach out and touch someone
Don’t you want to reach out and touch someone?
We all want to reach out and touch someone

I’m not saying
Everything is going perfectly but
I might have finally
Decided that I’m worth it
I’m not saying
I don’t have my share of problems but
They feel a little lighter
And I think I might deserve it
All I’m saying
Is I realized I’ve been awful to myself
my head was so far up my own ass
I couldn’t see straight
Things get better
Yeah they always get better woah-oh
As long as you can find it in yourself
Gotta keep pushing
Yeah you gotta keep pushing woah-oh
And realize you deserved it all along
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Feel like shit anymore
I’m just gonna
I’m just gonna
Push my ass out the door
You’ll feel better
You’ll feel better
If you put in the effort to get there
I’ll admit
I used to disregard myself
And turn a blind eye on my health
A couple exits beyond help
Found “me” lying
In a grocery tabloid aisle
And I scooped myself up quick
After a fit of “holy shits”
A few more years
And an opposite amount of tears
I finally kicked my self in gear
And I would rather be nowhere but here
