Never Felt As Dumb
Breaking Free from Foolish Love
Lyrics
You know as well as I do
You are aware, just like I am,
I'm not the only one with self esteem issues
I share common struggles with self-esteem;
At first I would let you slip through
Initially, I allowed you to escape criticism,
But I have had enough of your self-absorbed attitude
However, I've grown tired of your self-centered demeanor.
I don't get it
I'm puzzled,
Did someone tell you you're above everyone else?
Did someone elevate you above others?
'Cause sometimes it feels like you know
Because sometimes it seems like you're well-informed
Exactly what you're doing
about your actions.
I can't believe I let you play me for a fool and then let you right back in
I can't believe I allowed you to deceive me and then welcomed you back;
It gets under my skin
It deeply bothers me.
I've never felt as dumb as when I'm with you
I've never felt as foolish as when I'm with you.
Can't count the times I've seen my reflection
I've lost count of the instances I've seen my own flaws
And said "you're so stupid for making exceptions"
and thought, "you're foolish for making exceptions."
It feels like you took me for granted 'cause I was kind
It seems like you took me for granted because of my kindness,
Now I'm the one with face paint in a fragile state of mind
and now I'm the one in a vulnerable mental state.
I don't get it
I'm confused,
Did someone tell you you're above everyone else?
Did someone proclaim you superior to others?
'Cause sometimes it feels like you know
Because sometimes it feels like you're well-informed
Exactly what you're doing
about your actions.
I can't believe I let you play me for a fool and then let you right back in
I can't believe I allowed you to deceive me and then welcomed you back;
It gets under my skin
It deeply bothers me.
I've never felt as dumb as when I'm with you
I've never felt as foolish as when I'm with you.
At first I would let you slip through
Initially, I allowed you to escape criticism,
But I have had enough of your self-absorbed attitude
However, I've grown tired of your self-centered demeanor.
I'm not sticking around for you to make me feel
I won't endure staying for you to make me feel
Make me feel dumb
foolish,
Make me feel small
small,
Make me feel numb
or numb,
'Till I finally feel nothing at all
until I'm completely emotionless.
I know exactly what you're doing
I understand exactly what you're doing,
And I can't believe I let you play me for a fool and then I let you right back in
and I can't believe I allowed you to deceive me, only to welcome you back;
It gets under my skin
It deeply bothers me.
I've never felt as dumb as when I'm with you
I've never felt as foolish as when I'm with you.
I know exactly what you're doing
I understand exactly what you're doing,
And I can't believe I let you play me for a fool and then let you right back in
and I can't believe I allowed you to deceive me and then welcomed you back;
It gets under my skin
It deeply bothers me.
I've never felt as dumb as when I'm with you
I've never felt as foolish as when I'm with you.
I know exactly what you're doing
I understand exactly what you're doing,
And I can't believe I let you play me for a fool and then let you right back in
and I can't believe I allowed you to deceive me and then welcomed you back;
It gets under my skin
It deeply bothers me.
I've never felt as dumb as when I'm with you
I've never felt as foolish as when I'm with you.
