Dear Insecurity Lyrics

[Verse 1: Brandy Clark, Brandi Carlile]
Dear insecurity, oh, we meet again don't try to flirt with me
You're not really my friend but you take up half this bed
Livin' rent-free in my head
Oh, insecurity
You show up in my mirror point out the worst in me
You whisper in my ear that my lips are way too thin too many miles on my skin


[Chorus: Both]
If I can't find a way to get you gone
Can't we find a way to get along, along, along
You're careless and you're cruel, and, oh, you're mindless
Maybe you could try a little kindness
Instead of hurtin' me

[Verse 2: Brandy Clark, Brandi Carlile]
Oh, insecurity
Now where did you come from?
Your immaturity is the thing I can't outrun
You're a mean girl, you're a bully
And I hopе you're havin' fun
Hey, insecurity
You try on all my clothеs
It just occurred to me, that you may live in my phone
You tell me I don't fit in push me close to quittin'

[Chorus: Both]
If I can't find a way to get you gone
Can't we find a way to get along, along, along
You're careless and you're cruel, and, oh, you're mindless
Maybe you could try a little kindness
Instead of hurtin' me

[Bridge: Brandy Clark]
'Cause insecurity
This time feels like love she's really sure of me
So, please don't fuck this up
If you cut in on this dance I may never get another chance

[Chorus: Both, Brandy Clark]
I'll never find a way to get you gone
Wish I could find a way to know you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong
You're careless and you're cruel, and, oh, you're mindless
Maybe you could try a little kindness
Instead of hurtin' me

[Outro: Brandy Clark, Brandi Carlile, Both]
Instead of hurtin' me
Why you hurtin' me, insecurity?
