Better Than I Am

Why do I text guys
I've never met to get validation
Can't try to pretend it's an end to gratification
Fighting how I feel
But it takes over me, over me

Why do I eat too much
When I told myself I'm stopping today
Why do I spend so much
When I said I would start saving yesterday
Walking a thin line
I made for me

But I'm better than I am
Embrace my contradiction
I know that I can
Be my competition
Maybe it's a fight or a game I keep playing
Trying to meet myself
On the better side of myself
On the better side of myself

Why can't I get through this list and have more productivity
Why do I take this world and my life so seriously
Can't fight how I feel
It takes over me
Over me

But I'm better than I am
Embrace my contradiction
I know that I can
Be my competition
Maybe it's a fight or a game I keep playing
Trying to meet myself
On the better side of myself

I can see my better side
I'm never out of sight
Gotta get back up and keep on tryin'
Cause I'm hard on myself
But I'll never stand
For less than better than I am, I am

But I'm better than I am
Embrace my contradiction
I know that I can
Be my competition
Oh maybe it's a fight or a game I keep playing
Trying to meet myself
If I could only beat myself
To the better side of
Myself
