priorities

Trying my hardest to keep my head over water
Truth is, Im numb, too, we starting to feel redundant
We pick apart and compare and we tear each other down
Losing our minds, so we act like we hate each other
But I cant pretend no more
Trying to be a friend, but its hard
I aint even mad, I know its not your fault
Im not trying to offend no one
We all play our part
Try to fit in, but I cant fake it like that
Cold as ice
Cold, and we froze in sight
This world can be cold as ice
Nothing like they say its like
Keep your dreams close at night, yeah
Im bout to switch up, Im tired of taking the high road
Dont gotta answer to nobody just cause you say so
Fxck all the stereotypical sh!t, make my own rules
Cause they never see all the pain and the struggle we go through
Cause when you look in the mirror
Its kinda hard to be fearless
When theres so much on your shoulders
Im kinda feeling the same way
You see, I preach independence
But Im too scared to be lonely
I need somebody to hold me
Just know youll never control me
But I just cant understand it
Girls fxckin dudes for some tracks
And it breaks it heart, its so sad
Cause I know youre better than that
And I feel it , too, I feel it, too
But its nothing new, its nothing new
Cold as ice
Cold, and we froze in sight
This world can be cold as ice
Nothing like they say itslike
Keep your dreams close at night, yeah
Were just going backwards, baby
We dont change then we wont make it
Tell me why youre hesitating
Ask me how I do it, baby
Check your priorities
Mm, baby girl, check your priorities
Dont let these men tell you what youre gonna be
Mm, baby girl, check your priorities
Oh, nah
You need to, I need to
I need to, I need to
I need to, I need to
