It Comes Naturally

Everyone's got a story to tell, 

I'm sure you've heard many, 

And you have one as well. 

But if you take a moment to visit, 

We might can relate a bit. 

Just sit down, 

shut your mouth, and listen. 

I'm not perfect, 

and I don't expect to be. 

I don't try to be a failure,

it just comes naturally. 

My life's not charming, 

another day another problem. 

But day by day, 

I'm striving to solve them.

 Maybe some nights, 

the floors warmer than my bed. 

I hate being by myself, 

and the voices in my head. 

I don't want to be alone with the me I am today. 

I used to be so happy, 

now it seems I'm drained. 

I'm not perfect, 

and I don't expect to be. 

I don't try to be a failure, 

it just comes naturally. 

My life's not charming, 

another day another problem. 

But day by day, 

I'm striving to solve them. 

And I'm tired of my nights being long, 

and my days too short. 

I'm tired of being afraid of everyone, 

including myself. 

I hate being my worst enemy, 

in a war inside my head. 

I have nowhere to move, 

either way I'll lose. 

There's got to be a better way instead.. 

Because I'm not perfect, 

and I don't expect to be. 

I don't try to be a failure, 

it just comes naturally. 

And I'm losing a war against my soul and my own personality. 

I just want to be my own person, 

Because that's good enough for me. 

I'm not giving up just yet. 

I'll get there eventually. 

But the longer it takes, 

The less I'm free.
