I'm My Own Problem

Lyrics

ZORA (spoken)
Look, I’m not ancient or anything…
But I am tired of pretending this doesn’t bother me

ZORA
La da da da daaa
I keep tripping over every word around you
La da da da daaa
I keep acting like I don’t care, but I do
And I…
Feel this heat every time you’re in my space
And I—

AMY (spoken)
Zora, seriously?!
I’m exhausted from feeling guilty for breathing near you

AMY
Is that what you really think I’m doing?
Acting like I’m some perfect little hero above you?

ZORA
Sorry if I don’t treat you like you’re flawless
Like everyone else seems to do

AMY
Sorry if I sound defensive
But I can’t pretend I don’t feel hurt too

I know you’re scared of being hated
But I can’t carry all that weight for you
So…

ZORA
I’m just your problem…
Well…

AMY
You’re YOUR own—

ZORA & AMY
Problem!

ZORA
It’s like I’m barely even a person
Am I?
No…

ZORA & AMY
I’m just your problem…

AMY
You always put your guard up like armor

ZORA
I shouldn’t have to prove my heart to you

I’m sorry that I exist
I guess that’s why you shoved me on your blacklist
Well…

AMY
I’m not going anywhere
But I can’t fight the battles you start with yourself
So…

AMY (ZORA)
But yes, I still want to (So why do I want to?)
Oh, I still want to… (Why do I want to…?)
But I can’t drag you through it (I don’t have a clue)
We’ll make it through! (I’m asking you, so)
But I still want to… (Why do I want to…?)

ZORA
And maybe that’s why I lash out and push you away

AMY
Because you care!
That’s why you keep trying to drown me out with your noise!

ZORA & AMY
I’m sorry that it feels like this…

ZORA
I don’t know how else to fix it…

AMY
But I promise you
You could never push me far enough to lose me

And I can’t wait for the day you say…

ZORA
I’m just your problem…

AMY (whisper)
I’m sorry
