Confidence

Why do I hold
Myself to standards that I can't meet?
I'm overloaded
With expectations, impossibilities

Wouldn't it be so damn easy
If I could be the man they see me as?
Oh, and if only
My younger self could've seen me right now

And when I was a kid, I was top of the mountain
All my confidence was flowing like fountains
I don't know how I've gone so long without it

With a little bit of confidence
I could break the fourth wall down
With a little bit of confidence
I could turn the world around

And step away from hurt
And then watch it all fall down
With a little bit of confidence
'Cause that's all I need, all I need, yeah, yeah

Why am I so insufferably mean to myself?
Why do I go the long way 'round when you offer help?
Wouldn't it be so damn easy if I could be the queen you see me as?
They say you grow, but I can't seem to lay my roots down

And when I was a kid, I was top of the mountain
All my confidence was flowing like fountains
I don't know how I've gone so long without it, without it

With a little bit of confidence
I could break the fourth wall down
With a little bit of confidence
I could turn the world around

And step away from hurt
And then watch it all fall down
With a little bit of confidence
'Cause that's all I need, all I need, yeah, yeah

Tell me what is confidence
Is it something I can find?
Hero on a noble quest
Slay the dragon, save a life
I'm no damsel in distress
Only I can save me
Unafraid to be a mess
So I face it bravely

With a little bit of confidence
I could break the fourth wall down
With a little bit of confidence
I could turn the world around

And step away from hurt
And then watch it all fall down
With a little bit of confidence
'Cause that's all I need, all I need, yeah, yeah

I just need some confidence, ooh
I just need some confidence, ooh
