Let’s share our lyric of the day, week or moment.
I’ve been non-stop playing Replay by Cynthia Erivo since she released it a couple of weeks ago, such an addictive groove and the confessional relatable lyric is perfect. You can tell it came straight from her journal. The below verse is one that makes me feel so seen, the whole need to be validated by helping and prioritising other people is definitely something I’m actively working on.
I’ve been guilty of the hero complex, lend a helping hand
But I’m realising now that I’ve made my own quicksand
And my therapist has told me I’m not any good with help
I’m in lust with independence, I can only blame myself
There’s a fear that if my cape is taken, what use am I then?
I’m afraid of being lonely, I can hardly comprehend
