Little by little

So many people to imitate
Look in the mirror, I don't see my face
What am I but pieces of you
I try and try but nothing's getting through

Maybe I'll try my hand at something else
That doesn't revolve around knowing myself
Got distracted by the different chords
I forgot what this was all for

Little by little I pick away at everything I've made
One by one I find new cracks in everything I say
Little by little I step away from everything I want
One by one I count the things I haven't done

So many people in love with you
Wonder if they think I'm one of them too
I couldn't pick myself out of the lineup
How do you attract everything that I want

Little by little I pick away at everything I am
One by one I find new people I could never have
Little by little I convince myself it's normal to be
One or two more jealous meltdowns from lunacy

I don't want it, I don't need it, I can't have it
I don't want it, I don't need it, I can't have it

Little by little I set myself up more and more each day
One by one I write new songs that I won't wanna play

Little by little I question every choice I've had to make
One by one I hear in my head things I wish you'd say
