Telling Myself
Embracing Imperfections: A Musical Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I keep telling myself
I am consistently telling myself
There's no such thing as mistakes
I believe there are no mistakes
So why I am so worried
Despite this belief, I feel anxious or concerned
I'm gonna mess up
I fear making errors or messing up
And I keep telling myself
I repeatedly remind myself
That I'm so great
I affirm that I possess great qualities
So why do I get the feeling
However, I experience a sense of inadequacy
That I'm not enough
Feeling that I am not sufficient
I hope that someday soon
I anticipate a future moment
I'll get the chance to sing my tune
Hoping for an opportunity to express myself
Then maybe all my blues will go away
Expecting that my difficulties will fade away
And it won't be long
A positive change will happen soon
Till people hear my song
Confident that people will hear my music
And the clouds will part
Visualizing a bright and positive future
And sunshine will light my way
Optimism that success will illuminate my path
I keep saying I shouldn't
I consistently advise myself not to
Compare myself to others
Engage in comparisons with others
So why can't I take
Despite this advice, I find it challenging
My eyes off them
Unable to divert my gaze from others
And I keep saying I should be
I continuously assert that I should be
Happy with my lot
Satisfied with what I have
So why can I only think
Yet, my thoughts are focused on what I lack
Of things I haven't got
Longing for things I don't possess
I hope that someday soon
Anticipating a future moment (repeated)
I'll get the chance to sing my tune
Hoping for a chance to express myself (repeated)
Then maybe all my blues will go away
Expecting that difficulties will fade away (repeated)
And it won't be long
A positive change will happen soon (repeated)
Till people hear my song
Confident that people will hear my music (repeated)
And the clouds will part
Visualizing a bright and positive future (repeated)
And sunshine will light my way
Optimism that success will illuminate my path (repeated)
I hope that someday soon
Anticipating a future moment (repeated)
I'll get the chance to sing my tune
Hoping for a chance to express myself (repeated)
Then maybe all my blues will go away
Expecting that difficulties will fade away (repeated)
And it won't be long
A positive change will happen soon (repeated)
Till people hear my song
Confident that people will hear my music (repeated)
And the clouds will part
Visualizing a bright and positive future (repeated)
And sunshine will light my way
Optimism that success will illuminate my path (repeated)
And the clouds will part
Positive expectation that obstacles will clear
And sunshine will light my way
Confident that there will be sunshine in Los Angeles
And the clouds will part
Reiteration of a bright and positive outlook
There's sunshine in LA
Specifically mentioning sunshine in Los Angeles
