If I’m Insecure Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I'm so happy
How am I losing all this sleep?
If I'm the only child
How do I feel like the black sheep?
If this is what we always wanted
How's the signal so weak?
If I'm loved unconditionally
How's this condition so unique, so unique?
[Pre-Chorus]
But when you're with me
I feel like I'm embracing it
And when you cry
I know that you've been saving it
[Chorus]
And if I'm insecure
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
But if I'm insecure
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
If I'm so happy
How am I losing all this sleep?
If I'm the only child
How do I feel like the black sheep?
If this is what we always wanted
How's the signal so weak?
If I'm loved unconditionally
How's this condition so unique, so unique?
[Pre-Chorus]
But when you're with me
I feel like I'm embracing it
And when you cry
I know that you've been saving it
[Chorus]
And if I'm insecure
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
But if I'm insecure
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
[Verse 2]
But if this life matters
How am I still wasting it? Hmm
If I'm an animal
Shouldn't I be embracing it? Hmm
[Pre-Chorus]
When you're with me
I feel like I'm embracing it
And when you cry (When you cry)
I know that you've been saving it from me
[Chorus]
And if I'm insecure
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
If I'm insecure
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
But if this life matters
How am I still wasting it? Hmm
If I'm an animal
Shouldn't I be embracing it? Hmm
[Pre-Chorus]
When you're with me
I feel like I'm embracing it
And when you cry (When you cry)
I know that you've been saving it from me
[Chorus]
And if I'm insecure
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
If I'm insecure
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more

Genius Answer
What did James Blake say about "If I'm Insecure"?
Genius Answer
I like to go out on something either where it’s all harmonies or it just feels huge. This is the latter. It’s an apocalyptic love song—the world is ending, but you’re in love, so it’s all right. Which maybe captures where we are as a society in 2021, so perhaps I’ll come to think of this record as one big externalisation of my COVID experience, but that wasn’t the original intention. I make a load of music and then eventually realise, ‘Oh, yes, roughly, it was about this.’
