"Misplaced Validity"
This is just about those times where you define your pride through someone else's eyes. If that person would just like you, then somehow your life would be Ok. Of course, that isn't how it really works.
For awhile I thought that if you told me I was Ok
then I could believe it too
I put all my shit on you
and expected you to be the answer for it all
I never looked down
and took responsibility for getting myself here
Why is it that every time I fall
no one wants to catch me
Maybe I needed it and didn't love first;
I didn't love myself enough
I just know the world is more interesting with you in it
and I want to know you are out there somewhere,
smiling
Maybe the world is more interesting with me in it
and I need to be out there somewhere,
smiling
