Haunted by Potential

[Verse 1]
I'm not good with compliments
Just as bad with sentiments
I'm so afraid that I'll sound disingenuous
When I thank people for being kind to my heart (Mm-mm)
I thought I could handle it
Filing my accomplishments
But I can't tell which ones are good, which ones are great
'Cause nothing ever seems good enough for me to say, I'll be okay

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tryna fix this habit of always looking for a goal
Hate the idea that everything's not always in my control
Do I deserve it?
Did I earn it to be doing something fun?
Or am I wasting my time?

[Chorus]
If the younger me saw who I am today
Would she wish that things had gone some other way?
Should I have not quit piano?
Could I have signed to a label?
These are all things I wanna know
'Cause I'm haunted by potential

[Verse 2]
I used to say I'll be married, at 24
But that's for sure not gonna happen, anymore
Although I'm an adult and have learned a lot
I'm still like a child in more ways than I'm not
When will I be who I thought I would be?

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tryna fix this habit of always looking for a goal
Hate the idea that everything's not always in my control
Do I deserve it?
Did I earn it to be doing something fun?
Or am I wasting my time?

[Chorus]
If the younger me saw who I am today
Would she wish that things had gone some other way?
Should I have not quit piano?
Could I have signed to a label?
These are all things I wanna know
'Cause I'm haunted by potential
If the younger me saw who I am today
Would she wish that things had gone some other way?
Should I have not quit piano?
Could I have signed to a label?
These are all things I wanna know
'Cause I'm haunted by potential
These are all things I wanna know
'Cause I'm haunted by potential
