My Own Advice

(album: The Nature Of Hope - 2023)

It's okay to be not okay sometimes
Maybe I should, maybe I should
Take my own advice
It's okay to feel a little broke inside
Maybe I should, maybe I should
Take my own advice

My head's the loudest when it's quiet, and I'm lying in my bed
Start to pick apart the pieces, all the stupid shit I said
Like, did they think that I was funny? Are we really even friends?
I should work more, I should chill out, shouldn't be so in my head

But what would I say if I was someone else

It's okay to be not okay sometimes
Maybe I should, maybe I should
Take my own advice
It's okay to feel a little broke inside
Maybe I should, maybe I should
Take my own advice

'Cause I would never say the things I do to me to someone else
When my friends ask for a shoulder, I don't guilt them for the help
Why is it easier to love them than it is to love myself?
'Cause for some reason, when I'm asking, I think they're overwhelmed

But what would I say if I could hear myself?

It's okay to be not okay sometimes
Maybe I should, maybe I should
Take my own advice
It's okay to feel a little broke inside
Maybe I should, maybe I should
Take my own advice
Maybe I should, maybe I should
Take my own advice
Maybe I should, maybe I should
Take my own advice

Maybe I should, maybe I should
Take my own advice
Maybe I should, maybe I should
Take my own advice
It's okay to be not okay sometimes
Take my own advice
It's okay to feel a little broke inside
Take my own advice

It's okay, it's okay, oh
A little broke inside
