Story Behind the Song
This is a song about the emotions I go through while on stage, exposed and vulnerable to the audience. Songwriting is very personal and performing makes me anxious. I am always wondering what the audience is thinking, if they are accepting it, etc.
Lyrics
Everyone’s a Critic
Everyone’s a critic, they might be right
But it’s hard to sleep when all these words and all this truth on my mind
And they may think it’s simple, what I do
But they’ve never stood here in my shoes
Always shaking and wondering what everyone is thinking
Some days it gets too hard
You want to cry, you want to hide, you want to forget who you are
Everyone’s a critic except your friends
They’d rather lie, save your pain, let it go by holding in
It keeps me second-guessing or maybe I’m too sensitive
I never feel like I belong, but I never really did
Chorus
My head is spinning, everyone is coming down
On me all at once
What should I do with all this time, what should I do with all this space
What should I do with my life, is this what I love
Everyone’s a critic, or so it seems
But you can’t please everyone, so you better stop trying
We are complicated, that is what we are
I’ve come all this way, but I haven’t come that far
It’s not easy, how could it be
When all these faces standing here are staring right at me
Chorus
