Self Talk

Lyrics

I know you so well, so well
 I mean, I can do anything that he can
 I've been pretty
 Hey, can we talk?
 No, I don't really wanna talk right now
 That's okay, you never really did
 I've been screaming every day, "Please let me out!"
 Hold up, let you out?
 You couldn't protect yourself, I was protecting you
 You were protecting me?
 Yes, protecting you
 Everybody in this world was rejecting you
 Nobody out here could accept you
 No, everyone could, except you
 That's the problem that you have, man
 You build walls up and hid behind the shame
 And I guess that I'm partially to blame
 I don't know what to say
 No, explain, you're making no sense to me
 It kinda all just sounds like a guess to me
 Bro, your trauma made me just a memory
 Ain't nobody in this world remembers me
 So you wanted them to hurt you?
 Man, that's not what I'm saying
 Well, you basically are every time
 That you told me I took it too far
 And your ex left you
 'Cause you're way too emotional
 Man I did what I was supposed to do
 No, you didn't, the world made you hit your limit
 And then I got distant
 That's what I'm tryna tell you but you just won't listen
 What I'm tryna tell you is we're both broken
 My heart's open, yours is closing
 I don't give a damn if my heart is frozen
 You don't wanna be yourself?
 I had to free myself
 Because it just kept happening
 Go see a therapist instead of just rappening
 Or it'll just keep happening
 You don't think I ever get tired of maskin' it?
 I don't care if you do 'cause the more that you are
 Means the more that I'm vanishing
 And I really just want myself back again
