DEAR INSECURITY Brandy Clark & Michael Pollack Dear insecurity Oh, we meet again Don't try to flirt with me You're not really my friend But you take up half this bed Livin' rent-free in my head Oh, insecurity You show up in my mirror Point out the worst in me You whisper in my ear That my lips are way too thin Too many miles on my skin Refrain: If I can't find a way to get you gone Can we find a way to get along, along, along? You're careless, and you're cruel, and, oh, you're mindless Maybe you could try a little kindness Instead of hurtin' me Oh, insecurity Now where did you come from? Your immaturity Is the thing I can't outrun You're a mean girl, you're a bully And I hope you're havin' fun Hey, insecurity You try on all my clothes It just occurred to me That you may live in my phone You tell me I don't fit in Push me close to quittin' Refrain 'Cause insecurity This time feels like love She's really sure of me So, please don't fuck this up If you cut in on this dance I may never get another chance I'll never find a way to get you gone Wish I could find a way to know you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong You're careless, and you're cruel, and, oh, you're mindless Maybe you could try a little kindness Instead of hurtin' me (instead of hurtin' me) Why you hurtin' me, insecurity?

Love this, a another keeper! Thanks Phyllis
“Livin' rent-free in my head” jumped out for me…..
We need to be “kind caretakers” of our mind 🙏
