GAYLE
​dumbass
[Intro]
You ready?
No

[Verse 1]
I do this thing where I close off
My feelings and I take my clothes off
So I don't have to open up to my boyfriend
I told my friends that I'm fine
But really, I'm losin' my mind
They're drinkin', I'm thinkin' too much
So I avoid them

[Pre-Chorus]
Suckin' in my stomach
Side effects of fittin' in
Don't cut my hair 'cause I'm scared
God forbid I have my own opinion

[Chorus]
It's my fear of looking like a dumbass
Sayin' somethin' that I shouldn't have
It's holdin' me back, holdin' me back, holdin' me back
My fear of never being good enough
So I ignore what I want
It's holdin' me back, holdin' me back
[Post-Chorus]
But I'm over that
Over, over, over, over, over
Over that
Over, over, over, over, over

[Verse 2]
I'm overbitin' on my tongue
When people tell me I'm too young
To say all the things that I do in my songs

[Pre-Chorus]
Seventeen over these side effects of fittin' in
I don't know shit, let me live
God forbid I have my own opinion

[Chorus]
It's my fear of looking like a dumbass
Sayin' somethin' that I shouldn't have
It's holdin' me back, holdin' me back, holdin' me back
Holdin' me back
My fear of never being good enough
So I ignore what I want
It's holdin' me back, holdin' me back

[Post-Chorus]
But I'm over that
Over, over, over, over, over
Over that
Over, over, over, over, over
Over that
Over, over, over, over, over
[Outro]
It's my fear of looking like a dumbass
Sayin' somethin' that I shouldn't have
It's holdin' me back, holdin' me back, holdin' me
It's my fear of never being good enough
So I turned into what I'm not
It's holdin' me back, holdin' me back, holdin' me
