I've never been confident
Never wanted to take my shirt off in front of girls
And it's probably
Something that I have learned, need come to terms and be honest with
But I'm too scared of what people might say
I'm afraid
Of everyone judgin' me
Once they observe what I preserve, they stop lovin' me
'Cause that just hurts, I did it first and cuttin' me
Deeper than a knife ever cut
I'm no good

Give me strength
I've too many times here in the quiet
In my bed, I hate myself but I do it in private
I'm so scared, I just can't have you anywhere near me
'Cause what if you see me the way that I see me?

I think I owe an apology
To the kid I was when I was young 'cause I promised him
That I'll figure all this out by the time that he got here
But that was a lie and I am still ashamed
'Cause I'm to blame, ooh, ooh-ooh (ooh, ooh, ooh)
The war that I'm fightin' is fought by a person I can't see (ooh, ooh, ooh)
And lately I'm hidin'
All 'cause of me

Give me strength
I've too many times here in the quiet
In my bed, I hate myself but I do it in private
I'm so scared, I just can't have you anywhere near me
'Cause what if you see me the way that I see me?
Lost my head, I'm not too proud of the way that I'm hidin'
My eyes are wet, been months since I caught myself smilin'
I'm so scared, I just can't have you anywhere near me
'Cause what if you see me the way that I see me?

Give me strength
I've too many times here in the quiet
In my bed, I hate myself but I do it in private
I'm so scared, I just can't have you anywhere near me
'Cause what if you see me the way that I see me?
Lost my head, I'm not too proud of the way that I'm hidi
