Never Really Good

With me it takes time
I can’t leave it all behind
With me it looks different
I can’t look at something in the same way
With me it is left unsaid
I can’t speak my mind
Never really knew how to

Look at me, I don’t have everything
I can’t, yet you think I do
Look at me, I don’t believe myself
I can’t, yet you say I do
Look at me, I never did know any better
I can’t, yet you believe I do
Never really let me show you that it is true

I look at you, you say these things
You don’t know what happened
I look at you, you see me as greatness
You don’t know the other half
I look at you, you don’t leave me
You don’t know the reason you could use
Never really good with sharing

My flaws are what hold me back
I know it doesn’t sound like me
My mistakes are what keep me from moving
I know it doesn’t look the same
My regrets are what couldn’t be who I am now
I know it doesn’t help
Never really good with letting go
