Insecure
IV Jay Lyrics

So many ways to go about it
There are so many different paths to take in life.

Every thought I have, I doubted
I find myself constantly doubting my own thoughts and decisions.

So many ways to feel about life
There are countless ways to approach and experience life.

Get so caught up, in all of this hype
I often become too obsessed with the opinions and trends of others.

It's like I'm always missing something
I constantly feel like there's something missing in my life.

Does anybody want for nothing?
Is there anybody out there who feels completely content with their life?

One moment I'm great, the next I don't know
My mood and confidence can fluctuate rapidly.

Worried that I can't let myself go
I'm afraid of letting loose and being myself.

And who would I be then? (Then)
I often wonder who I would become if I let my guard down.

I don't even know who (Who)
I'm uncertain about my true identity.

I'm meant to be, yet (Yet)
I'm still trying to figure out my purpose in life.

Can I be me, yet? (Me yet, me yet)
Can I be my true, authentic self without fear or shame?

Can I be insecure sometimes?
Is it okay for me to feel vulnerable and insecure at times?

Or do I need to keep these walls so high
Am I supposed to always put up a strong, impenetrable facade?

I'm wondering what people think about me
I'm preoccupied with other people's opinions and perceptions of me.

Do they think I'm smart enough or pretty?
I'm specifically concerned about being seen as intelligent or attractive.

There's so much more than what they see
I realize that there's more to me than just my appearance or IQ.

I wanna love all the parts of me
I aspire to fully embrace and accept all aspects of myself.

From the top of my head, down to my toes
I want to love every single inch of my body and mind.

Not flawless but I'm still made of gold
I acknowledge my imperfections, but I know that I'm still valuable.

And sometimes I win, sometimes I don't
There are times when I succeed and times when I fail, and that's okay.

I'm learning, that's just the way it goes
I'm still growing and developing, and that's just a natural part of life.

Can I be me, yet? (Can I?)
Can I truly be myself without holding back?

Can I be me, yet? (Can I be? Can I be)
Is it possible for me to be my genuine self, flaws and all?

Can I be me, yet? (I know I'm in my feelings, nah, ah-ah, ah-ah, oh)
Despite my insecurities, I want to be able to fully express my emotions.

Can I be insecure sometimes?
It's okay for me to feel vulnerable and unsure of myself at times.
