[Verse 1] I tidy up my doubts Stack them in a hidden drawer Tell myself “I’ll deal with this” Then lock the bedroom door I stare down one small step Feels like a mountain throat Friends say “you’re made for this” I’m stuck inside my coat [Chorus] These are my inner limitations Little walls I built so high I keep on playing in the basement While there’s a rooftop in my sky I wrote these quiet regulations Signed my name and underlined These are my inner limitations And they only live in my mind [Verse 2] I practice every answer Before the question’s even asked Apologize for breathing Then rewind the past I circle every mirror For the parts I want to hide I leave my own name Waiting outside [Chorus] These are my inner limitations Little walls I built so high I keep on playing in the basement While there’s a rooftop in my sky I wrote these quiet regulations Signed my name and underlined These are my inner limitations And they only live in my mind [Bridge] What if I walk straight through Don’t check for permission (oh) What if I trust that I Belong in the vision I touch the door It shakes It’s only paper thin The guard I thought was fate Was always just my skin [Chorus] These were my inner limitations Paper walls that framed my view I’m done with living in the basement When there’s a rooftop made for truth I’m breaking quiet regulations Crossing out each crooked line Goodbye to inner limitations You were only in my mind [Chorus] These are my inner limitations
