Oliver Stay - Self-Reliant

You’re weak
So why don’t you do something about it?
But it’s just the way I speak
Yet these words don’t really seem to surround it
Once I was made up as the best in my own mind
Ignorance everytime
I guess I’m just afraid I may not like what I find
About myself, such a mystery
Actions speak louder than words
So I’m told
Don’t mean I’m finally bold
I guess I just needed a friend
But I have felt the end
Just so I could restart again
Somebody to revive the old voice inside my head
And now the colors have returned
‘Cause once upon a time
I wished to be self-reliant
And now the years keep flying passed
Don’t give me the run-around
All we have is here and now
But I just wanna calm the fuck down
I am a crazy, nervous wreck
You’ll sink lower the more you climb
But why not give it a try?
There are worse things to fear than heights
And I’m just a lost cause
Or I guess that’s what I’d be
If everybody I need would turn their backs on me
‘Cause every now and then
I get a little self-reliant
And now the years keep flying passed
Don’t give me the run-around
All we have is here and now
But I just wanna calm the fuck down
I am a crazy, nervous wreck
And it’s a world that I’ve been never shown
Weakness that I’ve never known
It seems the sky’s the limit
But it’s not my own
I will get there now I know
That I am not my enemy
Why try when I’m stuck on the outside?
It’s my own mind that receives the hate
It’s fine to feel emotional anyway
Sunrise overtakes the moonlight
It’s to remind that you’re on your own side
It’s fine to feel emotional anyway
Don’t give me the run-around
All we have is here and now
But I just wanna calm the fuck down
I am a crazy, nervous wreck
And it’s a world that I’ve been never shown
Weakness that I’ve never known
It seems the sky’s the limit
But it’s not my own
I will get there now I know
That I am not my enemy
