Story Behind The Song
"Insecure" is about personal transformation. It is the first original song written by Bittersweet. In the beginning, the band was wide-eyed and hopeful, but nervous about being accepted into the complicated music business. As the song progresses, it ends happily with feelings of hope and confidence. Since all human beings have tendencies of feeling insecure, many people can relate to this inspiring song.

Lyrics
When I step into my own
I find that which eludes me.
When I am alone,
All fades that would confuse me.
I?m gauging and waiting
For clarity and direction.
I?m fading, frustrated;
I?m caged and wanting to be free
How do I gather strength to win this war?
As I lay in dismay, insecure
When I step out of my shell
I see more than I care to,
Snap out of my spell,
Stay away from traps that live to snare you.
I?m climbing, I?m rising;
I?m making my connection.
I?m devising, reviving
My faith to push for resurrection.
How do I gather strength to win this war?
As I lay in dismay, insecure
As I grow and realize
My troubles fade away
Reveal my disguise
Looking up and forward to a new way
Taking in the new day
All I have in this world
Are my gifts
All I want in this world
Is to live
