Nightstand

dodie keeps a picture
Of herself when she was six
On her nightstand
Reminds her to be kinder
To that little girl within

Like I wish I could've been
I just didn't know better
I wish I could've seen
You deserved so much better

Never good enough for them
Never good enough for me
Running out of childhood
Chasing after praise
I'll never get back those days

When I think of you I wonder
What you'd think of me
If you met me
Bags under my eyes
If I don't sleep then I can't dream

I just lay there at night
Thoughts eating me alive
There's nothing much to tell
You know the drill too well

Never good enough for them
Never good enough for me
Running on a treadmill
All my body aches
But I can't find the breaks

This force of habit is killing me
It's drained out all the best of me
Keep betting on a game that can't be won
And strain myself to be the exception
You couldn't know what I know now
I should know better but forget somehow
This force of habit is killing me

When I think of you I wonder
What you'd think of me
