[Verse 1]
Go ahead and tell me I'm a failure
Tell me everything that's wrong
Point out every crack and every scar
Like I haven't seen them all along
You think your words can break me down
You think your judgment cuts deep
But I've been fighting a war inside my head
While the whole world's been asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
I've heard every insult before
In a voice that sounds like mine
[Chorus]
No one can hate me more than I hate myself
No one can drag me lower than I've already fell
Every word you throw just echoes what I've said
A thousand times alone inside my head
So scream it from the rooftops if it helps you sleep at night
I've been my own worst enemy my whole damn life
You think you're tearing me apart, but honestly
You've got nothing on me
[Verse 2]
The voices never miss a chance
They know exactly where to strike
They know every fear, every regret
Every reason I don't like my life
They tell me I'm a burden
Tell me I'll never be enough
Tell me everyone I care about
Would be better off giving up
And somehow I've grown comfortable
With carrying all their lies
Because after hearing them for years
They start sounding like advice
[Chorus]
No one can hate me more than I hate myself
No one can drag me lower than I've already fell
Every word you throw just echoes what I've said
A thousand times alone inside my head
So scream it from the rooftops if it helps you sleep at night
I've been my own worst enemy my whole damn life
You think you're tearing me apart, but honestly
You've got nothing on me
[Bridge]
The saddest part isn't the voices
Or the darkness they create
It's how I stopped defending myself
And started helping them hate
I became the judge and jury
The executioner too
Every wound you tried to open
Was already bleeding through
[Breakdown]
So why am I still standing?
Why am I still here?
Maybe because some part of me
Still refuses to disappear
Maybe beneath the wreckage
Underneath the shame
There's a piece of who I was
Still calling out my name
[Final Chorus]
No one can hate me more than I hate myself
But maybe that's the reason I need somebody else
To remind me I'm more than the damage in my head
More than every cruel thing I've ever said
I've been carrying this weight for far too long
Believing every lie until it sounded like a song
Maybe the battle isn't proving everybody wrong
Maybe it's learning I belonged here all along
[Outro]
You can keep your hatred
I've carried worse for years
The hardest voice to silence
Has always been the one I hear
