Priorities

Tryin' my hardest to keep my head over water
Truth is I'm numb to it, starting to feel redundant
We pick apart and compare and we tear each other down
Losing our minds so we act like we hate each other

But I
Can't pretend no more
Tryin' to be a friend, but it's hard
I ain't even mad, I know it's
Not your fault, I'm not
Tryin' to offend no one
We all play our part
Try to fit in, but I can't
Fake it like that

Cold as ice
Cold and we froze inside
This world can be cold as ice
Nothing like they say it's like
Keep your dreams close at night
Eh

I'm 'bout to switch up, I'm tired of takin' the high road
Don't gotta answer to nobody just 'cause you say so
Fuck all this stereotypical shit, make my own rules
'Cause they never see all the pain and the struggle we go through
'Cause when you look in the mirror it's kinda hard to be fearless
When there's so much on your shoulders, I'm kinda feelin' the same way
You see, I preach independence but I'm too scared to be lonely
I need somebody to hold me, just know you'll never control me

But I just can't understand it
Girls fucking dudes for some tracks, and
It breaks my heart, it's so sad
'Cause I know you're better than that
And I feel it too
I feel it too
But it's nothing new
It's nothing new

Cold as ice
Cold and we froze inside
This world can be cold as ice
Nothing like they say it's like
Keep your dreams close at night
Eh

We're just goin' backwards, baby
If we don't change then we won't make it
Tell me why you're hesitating
Ask me how I do it, baby

Check your priorities
Baby girl, check your priorities
Don't let these men tell you what you gonna be
Baby girl, check your priorities

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
