All I See Is Me

All I see is me.

All I think about is me.

It’s even in my dreams,

They say, be all that you can be.

But then it’s still only me.

Trust yourself, trust me?

I would only be kidding myself.

All I see is me.

I’m about fed up with me,

All the things that irritate me.

It’s just me.

All I see is me.

All I think about is me.

It’s in every song I sing,

Repeated in the chorus,

It’s even in the lead.

Follow your heart, girl, it knows the way.

I followed it alright.

I stayed the same.

I’ve been putting myself first,

In everything that I do.

Though that’s nothing new for me.

All I see is me.

All I think about is me.

There’s noise in the background,

I can’t think; I can’t see.

Oh, it’s only me.

There are shadows on the ground,

And they ain’t out running me.

Me, again.

Anxious now, I can’t sleep.

So what? Am I paranoid now?

Oh, it’s only me.

All I see is me.

All I think about is me.

Talking to myself,

And this ain’t in my sleep.

All I can think about is me.

There I go again, wrestling with me.

I should be able to beat her,

But again, It’s only me.

Listen to yourself,

Is that really what they say?

I’ve listened for so long; all I hear is me.

All I see is me.

All I think about is me.

I need to work on this,

I need to work on me.

Back in the spotlight. It's me.

Believe in yourself.

That’s someone’s remedy?

That dose was weak; it was only me.

When I speak my truth,

It’s riddled with white lies.

Who am I fooling? Only me.

All I see is me.

All I think about is me.

I’m struggling today,

Pain’s worse than yesterday.

I’m not in pain; the only pain is me.

Go find yourself, they add.

When I’m spiraling out.

Oh, I found me; she’s all I see.

“You do you, and I’ll do me.”

Is this how we all agree?

I’m tired of doing me.

All I see is me.

All I think about is me.

Prayer time, again.

Lord, it’s me.

It’s always me, Lord. It’s always me.

But when Jesus calls my name,

All I hear is me.

I only hear my name.

When praying in my closet,

Down upon my face.

I can’t concentrate.

I'm only seeking

me.

Maybe that's the problem.

All I see is me.

All I think about is me.
