I have this tendency A tendency to underachieve But I could really be much better than this I have a lot of dreams A lot of dreams I'm bound to achieve And any day you'll see I'm better than this I am the most secure person I've ever known I have an ego befitting of the throne And yet I am all alone That's why I'm all alone I have a lot of dreams And sometimes they start to suffocate me Could it be I'll never be anything but this? My self-esteem is conditional, you see On becoming this rock star guy I might never really be Why do I need to live in a fantasy? I am the most insecure person I've ever known I so desperately need somebody to call my own And yet I'm all alone It's all mine, 'cause I'm all alone I understand why I'm alone [folk version-adapted from 'insecure']
