Seperti judulnya, lirik lagu You Against Yourself dari Ruel ini adalah tentang suatu hal yang toxic yang ada dalam hidup kita. Dan walaupun sepertinya hanya ada sedikit harapan dan kamu ngerasa nggak berdaya tapi somehow kamu masih berusaha buat bangkit. 'You Against Yourself' adalah single pertama yang diangkat dari album debut Ruel yang akan datang.
Berikut ini lirik lagunya.
[Verse 1]
I know you feel it, but you'd always rather bottle it up
I'm rootin' for you, but you're not even tryin'
I wanna help you, but it's hard to get through all of your walls
I hope you know that I'm rootin' for ya
[Pre-Chorus]
You made all this conflict
Brought it upon yourself
Is this what you wanted?
I can't even tell
[Chorus]
Stuck in the thick of it (Ooh)
God, aren't you sick of it by now?
Not just a little bit (Ooh)
It's always you against your—
Selfish ways are suffocatin'
I can't save you now
Oh, why's it always you against yourself?
[Verse 2]
You're on the other side of everything that anyone says
So defensive and it's you that it's hurtin'
I wanna help you, but I can't so I'm walkin' away
I'm rootin' for ya, still rootin' for ya
[Pre-Chorus]
Wish I could be honest
Wish you'd understand
We don't talk very often
You're lost in your head
[Chorus]
Stuck in the thick of it (Ooh)
God, aren't you sick of it by now?
Not just a littl? bit (Ooh)
It's always you against your—
Selfish ways are suffocatin'
I can't save you now
Oh, why's it always you against yours?lf?
[Bridge]
You're goin' out almost every night
And you wonder why you feel fucked up
Said you wanna try to live a better life
Until you realize nothing's enough
You're goin' out almost every night
And you wonder why you feel fucked up
Said you wanna try to live a better life
Until you realize nothing's enough
[Chorus]
Stuck in the thick of it (Ooh)
God, aren't you sick of it by now?
Not just a little bit (Ooh)
It's always you against your—
Selfish ways are suffocatin'
I can't save you now
Oh, why's it always you against yourself?
