I could never have imagined you would fall in love with me

And I can't convince myself that you would never want to leave

Daddy trauma has emasculated all my common sense

So I'm looking through the lens of an impending abandonment

All the voices in my head say I'm not worth the time you've spent

So I search for an escape before you notice your mistake

I wish that I could say

All this mess might go away

I'm a constant work in progress and I can't keep fears at bay

And my mind is like a record setup on auto-replay

Replay (play), replay (play), replay (play), replay

And my mind is like a record setup on auto-replay

I've been guilty of the hero complex, lend a helping hand

But I'm realising now that I've made my own quicksand

And my therapist has told me I'm not any good with help

I'm in lust with independence, I can only blame myself

There's a fear that if my cape is taken, what use am I then?

I'm afraid of being lonely, I can hardly comprehend

I wish that I could say

All this mess might go away

I'm a constant work in progress and I can't keep fears at bay

And my mind is like a record setup on auto-replay

Replay (play), replay (play), replay (play), replay

And my mind is like a record setup on auto-replay

I'm the best overachiever, there's not anyone like me

And you think that was a good thing 'til you're told that's not healthy

You spend every waking hour working hard to write your will

Patiently waiting for validation 'til you're empty and unfulfilled

I wish that I could say

All these feelings go away

I'm a constant work in progress and I can't keep fears at bay

And my mind is like a record setup on auto-replay

Replay (play), replay (play), replay (play), replay

And my mind is like a record setup on auto-replay

Replay (play), replay (play), replay (play), replay

And my mind is like a record setup on auto-replay

Replay (play), replay (play), replay (play), replay

And my mind is like a record setup on auto-replay

Replay (play), replay (play), replay (play), replay

And my mind is like a record setup on auto-replay
