about

This vulnerable song tells the story of someone's hesitation to commit to a relationship because they have great distrust of themselves. This makes someone more likely to leave the relationship, overpowering all possible happiness that would be present if they persisted. Insecurity is experienced by many people of all ages and Rana was sure that by writing this song could make someone feels less alone struggling.

lyrics

girl talks on the way to the canteen every day
with our anxious self
and guff on how our friend ditched us for her new boyfriend

pulled out the push-and-pull card responsibly
oh i lived the dream
but who knew being alone now kinda suits me

there's not a day i'm not thinking about
our hasty hang outs, excessive self doubts
i know people wanted what we had
cause i do

i'm sorry
for making you go the hard way while i'm here making it worse
i'm sorry
for leaving you off-trail when things get pretty uncomfortable
i know you mean well, and i get that
oh, the truth is i'm never proud of myself
and i'm scared to show that to you, so i left

reading our old messages makes me concern
you pulled out the question
and i regret i never made that commitment

oh wish i could go back in time where i could say
a million yes to my best friend
and i regret i never meant every love you(s)

there's not a day i'm not thinking about
our afternoon walks, silly long talks
oh i know people wanted what we had
cause i do
i still do

i'm sorry
for making you go the hard way while i'm here making it worse
i'm sorry
for leaving you off-trail when things get pretty uncomfortable
i know you mean well, and i get that
the truth is i'm never proud of myself
and i'm scared to show that to you, so i left

these insecurities will never leave me
and it's been 6 years
i'm still scared to show the real me
wish i know how to win the game
i wouldn't be blue in the face

i would stop making excuses and lies
if i'm never this stubborn
and i would now hanging out by your side
but i failed to learn the lesson
but i keep my feet burning fast
from the cold
i need to stop lying to myself
and listen more
