Daniel James - Self Talk Lyrics

Hi (Um)
My name is Daniel James
And this is my album, Self Talk
Thank you for listening
I really appreciate it (Um)
I don't really want this to get too wordy
So- thank you- again, and
I hope you like it
I am going to be okay
This does not control me
I believe in myself (Aye)
I am getting stronger (Hey)
I'm enough as I am (Yeah)
I am worth the effort
I am more than what I'm feeling right now
I'm gonna be okay
Self talk is so important
You can tell yourself that
What your feeling might not
(Talk to yourself)
Actually be truth
It might not actually be
(When you've got nobody else)
Exactly- It might not be the thing
That you think it is, so
(It's helpful for your mind to)
Talk to yourself like you would talk to a friend
Who's going through something that
They can't get ahold of
You might be able to save that person
Or yourself
Back in college
Depression had mileage
I just kept grinding
So I could keep trying
To be more iconic
That was so toxic
Kept smoking that chronic
So I could forget
About you in my conscious
It became often
I needed someone
To tell me that I'd be okay
Can you promise me
My therapist said
Be that light for yourself
I said, okay I got it now (Yeah)
(Got it now)
And it's really that simple
If you're feeling bad
Just tell yourself
This is an unnecessary thought right now
And try to redirect it
Cause you have the power to do that
If you want to have it
I am going to be okay
This does not control me
I believe in myself (Aye)
I am getting stronger (Hey)
I'm enough as I am (Yeah)
I am worth the effort
That's gin and Ice- drink
Like the Ice drinks you get from Sam's Club
My mom gets them, I can't
I don't have a Sam's Club membership
(Gonna be okay)
