Title: MEAN TO YOURSELF
Full Lyrics:
You talk like a stranger in your own head
Every word lands like a punch instead
Mirror don’t lie but it cuts too deep
You’re wide awake but you can’t find sleep
You wear every flaw like it’s carved in stone
Like you’re the only one who’s ever been alone
You build up walls you can’t get through
Then blame the world for what you do
You don’t gotta fight that war tonight
You don’t gotta dim your own damn light
Why you gotta be so mean to yourself?
Throwing all your love on everyone else
You’d never say it to somebody you love
But you say it to you like it’s not enough
You’re breaking your heart, no one else
Every scar comes from the pain you felt
You’re not who you think in that mental spell
So why you gotta be so mean to yourself?
You replay moments you can’t undo
Like pain’s the only thing that’s true
But you don’t see what I can see
You’re stronger than your memory
Every “what if” keeps you locked inside
Every worst-case living in your mind
You chase perfection till you fall apart
Then call it failure, not a start
You don’t gotta carry all that weight
You don’t gotta turn your love to hate
Why you gotta be so mean to yourself?
Throwing all your love on everyone else
You’d never say it to somebody you love
But you say it to you like it’s not enough
You’re breaking your heart, no one else
Every scar comes from the pain you felt
You’re not who you think in that mental spell
So why you gotta be so mean to yourself?
Bridge (stripped / emotional)
If I could pull you out your mind
Show you the truth you’re trying to hide
You’d see a soul that’s worth the fight
Not every shadow means no light
You don’t deserve the words you say
Don’t tear your own heart down that way
Final Chorus (big, anthemic)
You don’t gotta be so mean to yourself
You can keep a little love for yourself
Say it out loud, let it finally help
You don’t gotta be so mean to yourself
You’re healing your heart, not someone else
You’re more than the doubt that you felt
Break out of the walls that you built
You don’t gotta be so mean to yourself
Be kind… just this once
Let that be enough
