oh god i think about myself so much
never enough for me
never enough to touch
and maybe i’m a narcissist
i don’t even know if i exist
i wish i’d evaporate
i’m ever the optimist
i’ve always got me on my mind
always at the wrong place at the wrong time
sometimes i wish i’d just shut up
wait, did i say too much or not enough?
hey i don’t even know what it is
that makes me have to be like this
i’m reading between the lines i swear
but the story i want just isn’t there
oh god i think about myself so much
never enough for me
never enough to touch
and maybe i’m a narcissist
i don’t even know if i exist
i wish i’d evaporate
i’m ever the optimist
i don’t wanna be the main character
i don’t wanna be potentially fictional
i’m not a selfish girl i swear
but i got so much going on upstairs
so i try to shake off what i can
remind myself of all my other plans
i don’t know why it is this way
the parts of me i want just never stay
oh god i think about myself so much
never enough for me
never enough to touch
and maybe i’m a narcissist
i don’t even know if i exist
i wish i’d evaporate
i’m ever the optimist

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
