Brandy Clark Dear Insecurity Lyrics

Dear insecurity
Oh, we meet again
Don't try to flirt with me
You're not really my friend
But you take up half this bed
Livin' rent-free in my head

Oh, insecurity
You show up in my mirror
Point out the worst in me
You whisper in my ear
That my lips are way too thin
Too many miles on my skin

If I can't find a way to get you gone
Can't we find a way to get along, along, along
You're careless and you're cruel, and, oh, you're mindless
Maybe you could try a little kindness
Instead of hurtin' me

Oh, insecurity
Now where did you come from?
Your immaturity
Is the thing I can't outrun
You're a mean girl, you're a bully
And I hope you're havin' fun

Hey, insecurity
You try on all my clothes
It just occurred to me
That you may live in my phone
You tell me I don't fit in
Push me close to quittin'

If I can't find a way to get you gone
Can't we find a way to get along, along, along
You're careless and you're cruel, and, oh, you're mindless
Maybe you could try a little kindness
Instead of hurtin' me

'Cause insecurity
This time feels like love
She's really sure of me
So, please don't f_ck this up
If you cut in on this dance
I may never get another chance

I'll never find a way to get you gone
Wish I could find a way to know you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong
You're careless and you're cruel, and, oh, you're mindless
Maybe you could try a little kindness
Instead of hurtin' me
Instead of hurtin' me
Why you hurtin' me
Insecurity?
