"Destroy Myself" lyrics
Parker Jack & LeGrand Lyrics
You want me to destroy myself, I can't take the abuse
You want me to be someone else, I don't know what to do
You want me to immortal, stronger than a God
You want me to be idol, and it's tearing me apart
You want me to destroy myself
You want me to be someone else, but I just wanna be with you
Every question that you ask, I'm avoiding 'em
'Cause every answer that I gave disappointed you
So, what the point in livin' life if you can't live and laugh?
And what's the point of being me if I'm annoyin' you?
You say: "That's not true", maybe it's your point-of-view
'Cause every time I talk, your shoulders drop, a change of mood
So, I don't know what else to do if you don't tell the truth
I can't be the only one that does it, gotta do it too
Maybe I'm the wrong one for you to be around
Calling me a problem, you let it beat me down
Maybe that's the one bush I shouldn't beat around
Maybe I'mma "Make it loud" instead of "Keep it down"
Maybe I'm a bad son, I couldn't make 'em proud
Maybe that's the reason that they don't come to town
Maybe I should run away and start a new life
Maybe I could change it all and actually do it right
You want me to destroy myself, I can't take the abuse
You want me to be someone else, I don't know what to do
You want me to immortal, stronger than a God
You want me to be idol, and it's tearing me apart
You want me to destroy myself
You want me to be someone else, but I just wanna be with you
Yeah, I know I'm different, that don't mean you have to look at me weird
Why're you judgin' how my heart is based on how I appear? Are you uncomfortable?
I'm too unlovable to hold me through these dark times? I'm not enough for you?
Nah, I get it, I've been overlooked my whole damn life
Nobody every hears my voice 'til I hold this mic
I'm reaching out for somebody's hand to hold on tight
But it keeps slipping, I ain't breathing while I'm low on life
I wanna go to therapy, but hate the way it feels
Paying you to love me isn't empathy, it's paying bills
But, now, I gotta think about, 'cause depression kills
I don't wanna take these meds, but you're prescribing pills
And if I don't, there's a chance I won't make it, right?
I'm sorry, mama, I don't know if I can take this fight
I hung my gloves up, I don't got no punch left
God, if you hear me, come and help me, I got nothin' left
You want me to destroy myself, I can't take the abuse
You want me to be someone else, I don't know what to do
You want me to immortal, stronger than a God
You want me to be idol, and it's tearing me apart
You want me to destroy myself
You want me to be someone else, but I just wanna be with you
You want me to be someone else, I don't know what to do
You want me to immortal, stronger than a God
You want me to be idol, and it's tearing me apart
You want me to destroy myself
You want me to be someone else, but I just wanna be with you
Every question that you ask, I'm avoiding 'em
'Cause every answer that I gave disappointed you
So, what the point in livin' life if you can't live and laugh?
And what's the point of being me if I'm annoyin' you?
