a nightmare
begins around the time when I'm first awake
rolling out of bed
and onto another day
a thought drops into my head
oh you'll never be anyone anyway
you can't change
so why don't you stay
right here
no, no, no
I can't take
another day of the constant bullying
there's no escaping the noise
the voice that's following me
when I'm with my friends
they just can't see the enemy anywhere
she's right here
in the back of my mind
in the heart of my fear
chorus:
my problem
my giant
just won't keep quiet
she's first thing every morning
to the last thing I hear at night
but she can't be completely indestructible
I only wish I could see how to defeat
my giant
yeah yeah my giant
oh oh
I've tried everything
hiding, fighting, and sneaking around
but each time she finds me
flat on my back and laughs out loud
there's got to be a way to knock her down
but I've already thrown my last stone
and she's not falling
chorus:
my problem
my giant
just won't keep quiet
she's first thing every morning
to the last thing I hear at night
but she can't be completely indestructible
I only wish I could see how to defeat
my giant
I just want her out of here
if I can't make her disappear
then I'll cover my ears
(quietly)
my problem
my giant
is suddenly quiet
she lost her power
when I shut her out
she can't be completely indestructible
now that I see how to defeat
my giant
yeah yeah my giant
oh ye-yeah
I'll stop listening
I'll stop listening yeah
no more listening no
cuz I'm not listening to my giant
