dumbass - GAYLE, The Him

(You ready?

No)

I do this thing where I close off

My feelings and I take my clothes off

So I don’t have to open up to my boyfriend

I told my friends that I’m fine

But really, I’m losin' my mind

They’re drinkin', I’m thinkin' too much so I avoid them

Suckin' in my stomach, side effects of fitting in

Won’t cut my hair 'cause I’m scared

God forbid I have my own opinion

It’s my fear of lookin' like a dumbass

Sayin' somethin' that I shouldn’t have

It’s holdin' me back, holdin' me back, holdin' me back

My fear of never being good enough

So I ignore what I want

It’s holdin' me back, holdin' me back

But I’m over that

Over, over, over, over, over

Over that

Over, over, over, over, over

I’m overbite on my tongue

When people tell me I’m too young

To say all the things that I do in my songs

Sensing all of these side effects of fitting in

I don’t know shit, let me live

God forbid I have my own opinion

It’s my fear of lookin' like a dumbass

Sayin' somethin' that I shouldn’t have

It’s holdin' me back, holdin' me back, holdin' me back

My fear of never being good enough

So I ignore what I want

It’s holdin' me back, holdin' me back

But I’m over that

Over, over, over, over, over

Over that

Over, over, over, over, over

Over that

Over, over, over, over, over

It’s my fear of lookin' like a dumbass

Sayin' somethin' that I shouldn’t have

It’s holdin' me back, holdin' me back, holdin' me

It’s my fear of never being good enough

So I didn’t know when I’m not

It’s holdin' me back, holdin' me back, holdin' me
