I know you feel it but you always rather bottle it up
I'm rooting for you but you're not even trying
I want to help you
But it's hard to get through all of your walls
I hope you know that I'm rooting for ya

You made all this conflict
Brought it upon yourself
Is this what you wanted?
I can't even tell

Stuck in the thick of it (ooh, ooh)
God aren't you sick of it by now
Not just a little bit? (ooh, ooh)
It's always you against your
Selfish ways are suffocating
I can't save you now
Oh, why's it always you against yourself?

You're on the other side of everything that anyone says
So defensive and it's you that it's hurting
I wanna help you but I can't so I'm walking away
I'm rooting for ya, still rooting for ya

Wish I could be honest
Wish you'd understand
We don't talk very often
You're lost in your head

Stuck in the thick of it (ooh, ooh)
God aren't you sick of it by now
Not just a littlе bit? (ooh, ooh)
It's always you against your
Selfish ways are suffocating
I can't save you now
Oh, why's it always you against yoursеlf?

You're going out almost every night
And you wonder why you feel fucked up
Say you wanna try to live a better life
Until you realize nothing's enough
But you're going out almost every night
And you wonder why you feel fucked up
Say you wanna try to live a better life
Until you realize nothing's enough

Stuck in the thick of it (ooh, ooh)
God aren't you sick of it by now
Not just a little bit? (ooh, ooh)
It's always you against your
Selfish ways are suffocating
I can't save you now
Oh, why's it always you against yourself?
