[Verse 1]
I don't know what steps to take
I do the easy ones until it helps
Little acts of conversation
I don’t think I really like myself
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I comfortable in silence?
Or is it eating me alive?
Nothing's ever really quiet
When you need distraction to survive
[Chorus]
It's part of me
Wouldn’t you believe it's nothing?
It's all you need

[Chorus]
It's part of me
Wouldn't you believe it’s nothing?
It’s all you need
When you keep the rain from coming
[Bridge]
I'm good at letting you go
I’m good at letting it get to me
I'm good at letting you go
No, you were never the enemy
