Priorities

Trying my hardest to keep my head over water
Truth is, I'm numb, too, we 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
Trying to be a friend, but it's hard
I ain't even mad, I know it's not your fault
I'm not trying 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 in sight
This world can be cold as ice
Nothing like they say it's like
Keep your dreams close at night, yeah

I'm 'bout to switch up, I'm tired of taking the high road
Don't gotta answer to nobody just 'cause you say so
Fuck all the 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 feeling 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 fuckin' dudes for some tracks
And it breaks it 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 in sight
This world can be cold as ice
Nothing like they say it's like
Keep your dreams close at night, yeah

We're just going backwards, baby
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
Mm, baby girl, check your priorities
Don't let these men tell you what you're gonna be
Mm, baby girl, check your priorities
Oh, nah
You need to, I need to
I need to, I need to
I need to, I need to
