Lauren Oxford – Paint Myself Trying Lyrics
Artist: Lauren Oxford
Song: Paint Myself Trying
Bimonthly, i’m going to therapy
I’m trying my best to write songs
I let people tell me they love me
And i try not to tell them they’re wrong
Some say you can’t love others until you love yourself
Speaking on behalf of us with imperfect mental health
But i don’t see how that can be true
When so much of me is my love for you
And why would i hurt somebody else
When i can take any bad thing out on myself?
If there’s anything that’s true for me, if therе’s anything i’ve learned
I’vе gotta live with the bridges i’ve built and the bridges that i’ve burned
Got an arsenal of answers that i use to survive:
Distract, devote, consume, fawn, and self-deprive
Because why would i hurt somebody else
When i can take any bad thing out on myself?
It’s hard for me to understand how you’re still here
Steadfast in your belief that this fog will clear
I can’t make any sense of what you see in me
When i’m drinking up the waters of the self-hating sea
I worry that it’s too late to paint myself anew
But if i can’t do it for me, then i’ll do it for you
Is that wrong? is that wrong?
Am i wrong? am i wrong?
‘cause why would i hurt somebody else
When i can take any bad thing out on myself?
There’s all this love that hums somewhere deep inside of me
And it’s all reserved for others and something that i never see
And is it healthy? no, but it’s what i do to cope
We’re all doing whatever we must, whatever we can, to cope:
Bimonthly, i’m going to therapy
I’m trying my best to write songs
I let people tell me they love me
And i try not to tell them they’re wrong
