I'm tryna love myself
But there's a war inside of me
I wanna cry for help
But I'm my own worst enemy
Don't wanna fight myself
So bad for my health
I just wanna be free
But there's hero and a villain living inside of me
I lost myself again
No I don't understand
It happens all the time
When I face the night
All of my ghosts come out
They pin me to the ground
Just try to stay alive
For the morning light
Livin' in my head
Is an assembly line of worry and regret
But I really wanna stay right here instead
And not far away
I'm tryna love myself
But there's a war inside of me
I wanna cry for help
But I'm my own worst enemy
Don't wanna fight myself
So bad for my health
I just wanna be free
But there's hero and a villain living inside of me
One of them causes pain
The other saves the day
The never ending ride
And I'm getting tired
Of all the seasons
And the reruns
Storylines I just repeat them
Oh there's gotta be a better way (oh)
I'm tryna love myself
But there's a war inside of me
I wanna cry for help
But I'm my own worst enemy
Don't wanna fight myself
So bad for my health
I just wanna be free
But there's hero and a villain living inside of me
Livin' in my head
Is an assembly line of worry and regret
But I really wanna stay right here instead
And not far away
I'm tryna love myself
But there's a war inside of me
I wanna cry for help
But I'm my own worst enemy
Don't wanna fight myself
So bad for my health
I just wanna be free
Oh I just wanna be free
But there's a hero and a villain living inside of me
I just wanna be free
But there's a hero and a villain living inside of me
