Hakusho by Dear Season

It’s the only dream I’ve had this week
Wake up cold sweat check my mouth and count all my teeth
You could call a part of the process -
My self-image is a work in progress

I’m taking notes from the outside looking in
Try to build the confidence to share
I’ve been learning how to express them
If words escape, it’s about effect, then

It’s a privilege for us to work out who we want to be
Can we make it if I start to disagree?

Don’t spare my feelings, tell the truth
(Am I not good enough for you?)
Am I setting you up to lose?
(I try to fight, but it’s no use)
It makes no difference what I say
(I feel this every single day)
I just hold you back anyway
(I’m growing tired of living this way)

I’ve been working on building up the strength
End the cycle and follow my conscience
But you’ve always had it down to a science,
The way you counter dissent with silence

I'm falling short of the image you have of me
And I can see your frustration kicking in
The kind of person that you think I should be
Could never live with my lack of direction

I get the sense that you’re getting worn out every time I speak
A fundamental disagreement of who I’m meant to be
And I can tell, you’re getting sick of accommodating me
I won’t hold it against you if it’s time for you to leave

Don’t spare my feelings, tell the truth
(Am I not good enough for you?)
Am I setting you up to lose?
(I try to fight, but it’s no use)
It makes no difference what I say
(I feel this every single day)
I just hold you back anyway
(I’m growing tired of living this way)

It makes no difference what I say
(I’m sick of living this way)
It makes no difference what I say
(I’m sick of living this way)
