I am so much more than I ever expected to be Despite drowning in this insufficiency A chorus of deafening inadequacy Proving myself and others wrong, So deliciously I never expected to be so far I expected to be much farther I never expected to be alive I expected to be demising I know I’ve hurt I know I’ve broken others I know I’ve bruised I know I’ve used others Regretful I suppose No Just reactionary behavior And I have succumbed to my darkest depths Though they have never won And I have fallen back 12 steps Yet still, I scale the rungs So when I say “I’ve given up” Never do believe me I am capable of getting up Love, I’m just that crazy.

I can
I am so much more than I ever expected to be Despite drowning in this insufficiency A chorus of deafening inadequacy Proving myself and others wrong, So deliciously I never expected to be so far I expected to be much farther I never expected to be alive I expected to be demising I know I’ve hurt I know I’ve broken others I know I’ve bruised I know I’ve used others Regretful I suppose No Just reactionary behavior And I have succumbed to my darkest depths Though they have never won And I have fallen back 12 steps Yet still, I scale the rungs So when I say “I’ve given up” Never do believe me I am capable of getting up Love, I’m just that crazy.
I mean it was inspired by you, but like also I needed this anyway.
