I Can't Be Around Myself

I know you said you’re okay

But these mood swings get in your way

And stability is not a possibility

When you can’t be around yourself

I ran to forget about lust

I drank to forget the color of your car

I hid so nobody could ask

I smoked when I wanted to talk

I said things I didn’t want to say

I hurt the ones that I love

It would be nice to forgive myself

But maybe we both should sing along

Maybe we both should sing along

I know I’m not okay,

And this position is hard to maintain.

And stability is not a possibility

When you can’t be around yourself.

I know you think I’m okay,

Cuz I’m happily drunk and I stayed,

You know I can’t say no to you,

I know that you never cared.

Some things I will hide,

I’ll keep them at the back of my mind

I’ll keep listening you talk about your ex

If that helps you find your way.

I said things I didn’t want to say

I hurt the ones that I love

It would be nice to forgive myself

Maybe we both should sing along

I know I’m not okay

And this position is hard to maintain

And stability is not a possibility

When you can’t be around yourself.

I know you said you’re okay

But the kind of life you don’t want

Keeps pushing its way

It’s complicated

I know why you get jaded.

You can’t be around yourself

I know I’m not okay,

And these mood swings get in my way

And stability is not a possibility

When you can’t be around yourself.

I know you think I’m okay,

Cuz I’m happily drunk and I stayed,

And vulnerability is the only possibility

If you want to be around yourself

Vulnerability is the only possibility

If you want to be around yourself
