[Verse 1: Brandy Clark, Brandi Carlile]

Dear insecurity, oh, we meet again don't try to flirt with me

You're not really my friend but you take up half this bed

Livin' rent-free in my head

Oh, insecurity

You show up in my mirror point out the worst in me

You whisper in my ear that my lips are way too thin too many miles on my skin

[Chorus: Both]

If I can't find a way to get you gone

Can't we find a way to get along, along, along

You're careless and you're cruel, and, oh, you're mindless

Maybe you could try a little kindness

Instead of hurtin' me

[Verse 2: Brandy Clark, Brandi Carlile]

Oh, insecurity

Now where did you come from?

Your immaturity is the thing I can't outrun

You're a mean girl, you're a bully

And I hopе you're havin' fun

Hey, insecurity

You try on all my clothеs

It just occurred to me, that you may live in my phone

You tell me I don't fit in push me close to quittin'

[Chorus: Both]

If I can't find a way to get you gone

Can't we find a way to get along, along, along

You're careless and you're cruel, and, oh, you're mindless

Maybe you could try a little kindness

Instead of hurtin' me

[Bridge: Brandy Clark]

'Cause insecurity

This time feels like love she's really sure of me

So, please don't fuck this up

If you cut in on this dance I may never get another chance

[Chorus: Both, Brandy Clark]

I'll never find a way to get you gone

Wish I could find a way to know you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong

You're careless and you're cruel, and, oh, you're mindless

Maybe you could try a little kindness

Instead of hurtin' me

[Outro: Brandy Clark, Brandi Carlile, Both]

Instead of hurtin' me

Why you hurtin' me, insecurity?
