I do not understand The things I've been given in life aren't there And everything seems against me all the time I don't know how to stand up But I've got faith in myself and all of the things I do I don't need no one else to tell me what I can't do If you don't realize all of the things your life can do You will be left behind Swept up by the storm of those you know I'm just out here chillin' with my fam peeps You don't understand me If you listen to my songs just a little bit deeper You might release my dreams Or you might release my inner demons That's just a little scary 'Cause I don't know them but they all know me And that's just a little weird so I'll keep that to myself I don't have any real hype right now I don't even have a real mic right now, but I'm just singin' on my laptop 'cause I want to I swear no one else can stop you so Just do what you want to Just do what you want yeah Just do what you want to You know that you want to If you don't realize all of the things your life can do You will be left behind Swept up by the storm of those you know If you don't realize all of the things your life can do You will be left behind Swept up by the storm of those you know

You say, I care too much about what people think And I'm always lost inside the same old things Wastin' all my energy on me And I never think before I speak You tell me that, my ego's gonna hold me back And I can't help thinkin' that I'm just all that Guess I'm just my own worst enemy Will you be the one to set me free? You say I'm dumb, you say I'm crazy You say, I work too hard, then I'm lazy And while that hurts to hear, I know it's true You make me wanna change it all for you Oh, I'm so thankful that you put me in my place No one's ever loved me real enough to say it right to my face I'm so thankful that you counted all my scars No one's ever loved me real enough to pull my whole world apart And put it back together, hmm Put it back together, hmm, oh, yeah You know it's never been a little diamond ring Keepin' it together when the last bell sings I just hope you never wanna leave You're the only one who makes my heart beat And if I'm not myself, you always call me out Keepin' me together when I have my doubts Am I just my own worst enemy? Will you be the one to set me free? You say I'm dumb, you say I'm crazy You say, I work too hard, then I'm lazy And while that hurts to hear, I know it's true You make me wanna change it all for you Oh, I'm so thankful that you put me in my place No one's ever loved me real enough to say it right to my face I'm so thankful that you counted all my scars No one's ever loved me real enough to pull my whole world apart And put it back together, hmm Put it back together, hmm Through the ups and all the downs All the blues and all the browns You're the gravity that grounds While I'm circling around
