The Problem

All these people trying to "fix me"
Picking at every little thing and saying it's wrong
Whenever I speak up for myself, I get stuck deep down, and called the problem
Watch me start keeping to myself

Never open up as much as I used to
Never feel like I can truly be myself
Why does everyone overlook their own issues
They just go and place them on someone else

So every time I've been made to feel dumb, like I'm never good enough
I just reflect, and keep going on
Cause if I'm oh so bad

Then let me be the problem
That's all I ever hear
If being myself is wrong and so profound
Then let me be the problem
I'm a beautiful mess, I'm as human as it gets, I know what I deserve
In-de-pen-dent, keep my strength in check, I know who I am
So when I stand up for myself for getting less than I deserve
And you bash my name, and you call me insane
I'll take it as a compliment
Let me be the problem (Yeah, yeah)

All these people trying to rain on my parade
Picking at every thing saying it's wrong
I'm hard working, I'm self-aware, I work towards my dreams
You think you know me, but you don't

Never open up as much as I used to
Never feel like I can truly be myself
Why does everyone overlook their own issues
They just go around and place them on someone else

So every time I've been made to feel dumb, like I'm never good enough
I just reflect, and keep going on
Cause if I'm oh so bad

Then let me be the problem
That's all I ever hear
If being myself is wrong and so profound
Then let me be the problem
I'm a beautiful mess, I'm as human as it gets, I know what I deserve
In-de-pen-dent, keep my strength in check, I know who I am
So when I stand up for myself for getting less than I deserve
And you bash my name, and you call me insane
I'll take it as a compliment
Let me be the problem (Yeah, yeah)

I've been working on self-love for years
I've been growing, and working against my fears
I feel so me, when I can breathe
With all this hate I receive, I still look at the world in disbelief
Keeping to myself, because I know I got me
And if that's all I have, I'm okay with that
Because I know I got me
