Tell Yourself

Am I the only one awake?
Am I the only one?
You’re only what you tell yourself you are
And lying to yourself can only get you so far
You’re only what you tell yourself you are
Well hey there kid, try not to be so hard on yourself
Did you know you can make your own hell?
And you’re only what you tell yourself you are

And lying to yourself can only get you so far
You’re only what you tell yourself you are
The chatting from outside fades
I guess that means that I’m the only one awake at this hour of the night
Thinking about my own hostility, am I the only one with all of this
Running through my head
And the littlest things affect our lives

In ways I can’t understand
I wish that I did
But I’m still eating every word I spoke when I was just a kid
You’re only what you tell yourself you are
And lying to yourself can only get you so far
You’re only what you tell yourself you are
