Everybody in this world that I've known
Gets their way when it comes down to me
I'm very careful for the things I condone
But I know that I lack self-esteem
So everybody that was part of my past
They just left when they'd all heard enough
I raised my voice until it falterred at last
Hard to say but I'm just not that tough
When confrontation comes my way
I always just give up
I don't wanna be nothing to anyone
I just wanna be something I'd believe
I'm sorry if that makes me selfish
But selfless things never come for free
And I need some self-esteem
Oh I need some self-esteem
All the girls that I've ever been with
Are the ones who would not stick around
Heart over head and it's coming down quick
In the end I'm the one who's let down
When confrontation comes my way
I always play the clown
I don't wanna be nothing to anyone
I just wanna be something I'd believe
I'm sorry if that makes me selfish
But selfless things never come for free
And I need some self-esteem
Oh I need some self-esteem
If I'm honest with my feelings will they all just turn away?
Will they be clearing up some room for the plans we never made?
Yeah I'm running out of oxygen and now I'm getting sick
Is it something that's impossible or something I can fix?
When confrontation comes my way
I always just give in
I don't wanna be nothing to anyone
I just wanna be something I'd believe
I'm sorry if that makes me selfish
But selfless things never come for free
And I need some self-esteem
Oh I need some self-esteem
Yeah I need some self-esteem
Oh I need some self-esteem
