Uncomfortably Me

(album: No Gods No Masters - 2021)

Spend every day wishing my life away
Always so nervous and unsure of myself
Always the bridesmaid and never the bride
Always the wallflower, never the sport star

Wanted their body, wanted their hair
Wanted the way that they walked straight ahead of me
Didn't know then what I think I know now
Wanted their confidence, wanted their love

Uncomfortably here, uncomfortably there
Uncomfortably me, uncomfortably me
Uncomfortably here, uncomfortably there
Uncomfortably me, uncomfortably me

I hated the way that I spoke from the place
Where I was born and where I came from
Hated myself when she wasn't around
I miss the way she'd throw her head back and laugh at me

Uncomfortably here, uncomfortably there
Uncomfortably me, uncomfortably me
Uncomfortably here, uncomfortably there
Uncomfortably me, uncomfortably me

My hands would shake, I would sweat
Always trying hard to impress
Wish I'd told them all, "Go to hell!"
But I never had the common sense
Too busy hating on myself
A waste of time, a waste of space

Uncomfortably here, uncomfortably there
Uncomfortably me
Uncomfortably here, uncomfortably there
Uncomfortably me

Uncomfortably me
Uncomfortably me

Uncomfortable
Uncomfortable
Uncomfortable
Uncomfortable

Uncomfortable
Uncomfortable
Uncomfortable
Uncomfortable
