Don't let me get me
Pink/Scratch Lyrics

Never win first place, I don't support the team
I don't feel like I belong and don't see the point in trying to fit in or be someone I'm not.

I can't take direction, and my socks are never clean
I struggle with authority and following rules, and I often neglect my own basic needs.

Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I have a history of conflict and trouble with authority figures and my own family members.

I was always in a fight cause I can't do nothin' right
I feel like a failure and constantly beat myself up for not measuring up to others' expectations or my own. This causes me to lash out and pick fights.

Every day I fight a war against the mirror
I struggle with self-image and constantly compare myself to others, leading to a negative cycle of self-doubt and criticism.

I can't take the person starin' back at me
I don't like who I see in the mirror and wish I could be someone else.

I'm a hazard to myself
My negative self-talk and self-destructive behavior put me in danger and harm my own well-being.

Don't let me get me
I need someone to intervene and prevent me from self-sabotaging or spiraling into negative thoughts and actions.

I'm my own worst enemy
I am the source of my own problems and often create my own obstacles, even when others are not in my way.

It's bad when you annoy yourself
I find my own presence and behavior irritating, which only makes my negative self-talk and self-destructive tendencies worse.

So irritating
I can't stand my own personality or actions and wish I could escape them.

Don't wanna be my friend no more
I am tired of being around myself and feel like I need a break or change from who I am.

I wanna be somebody else
I wish I could switch places with someone else and escape my own problems and negative self-talk.

LA told me, "You'll be a pop star, All you have to change is everything you are."
I have felt the pressure to change everything about myself to fit into other people's expectations or standards for success, even if that means losing my individuality or authenticity.

Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears
I am exhausted by constantly being compared to other people, especially when they seem to have everything I don't or don't want.

She's so pretty, that just ain't me
I don't match the expectations or standards of beauty and success that society or others have set, leading to feelings of inadequacy and insecurity.

Doctor, doctor, won't you please prescribe me somethin'
I am at a loss as to how to cope with my negative thoughts and behaviors and need someone else to provide a solution or answer for me.

A day in the life of someone else?
I wish I could experience what it's like to be someone else and escape my own problems and negative self-talk.

Don't let me get me
I need someone else to intervene and help me break the negative cycle of self-doubt and self-destructive behavior that I am trapped in.

I wanna be somebody else
I am desperate to escape my own problems and negative thoughts by becoming someone else entirely.
