Heartlistener - Counterfeit

Imagine how it is
To feel insufficient in all aspects
To be ashamed of being who you are and do the things that make you happy
I am my own counterfeit
Coadjuvant of my own decisions, I neglect who I am
I hid from the world but not from myself

It seems to be easier to hide where no one can see you
But what's the point if you feel like a fraud everytime you look at yourself?

Counterfeit, I'm just trying to be myself
But I can't when I think everyone is better than me

Is life a competition?
'Cause I don't want to be better than anyone
I just want to be better than myself
And have the courage to accept my imperfections
I know I'm not my insecurities
But why does it keep dragging me down?

Counterfeit, I'm just trying to be myself
But I can't when I think everyone is better than me
I hid from the world but not from myself
I can't look in the mirror and see someone else
I am who I am

Why do I keep complicating everything I put myself in?
Keep on jeopardizing my own happiness
I'm the one dragging myself down
