About

I struggle with body image sometimes, just my feels

Lyrics

Verse 1

I read the room from the doorway

Counting who looks up when I walk in

Smile like a borrowed sweater

It never fits quite right on my skin

Pre-Chorus

I keep changing parts of me

Hoping something sticks

Trim the edges till I'm small

Still I don't exist

Chorus

Maybe if I was thinner

I wouldn't have to keep askin

Maybe if I was prettier

Could you like me then

I've been rewriting my whole self

Just to fit in your hand

Maybe if I was thinner

Maybe you'd understand

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Maybe you'd understand

Oh-oh oh-oh

Maybe

Verse 2

My friends all say I'm glowing

But glowing doesn't get you held at night

I do the work the talking the trying

And still I'm standing outside the light

Pre-Chorus

I measure every mirror

Every number every day

Trade my voice for something softer

Watch it fade away

Chorus

Maybe if I was thinner

I wouldn't have to keep askin

Maybe if I was prettier

Could you like me then

I've been rewriting my whole self

Just to fit in your hand

Maybe if I was thinner

Maybe you'd understand

Bridge

What if nobody's keeping score

What if wanting me was never the door

What if the problem was never my frame

Just a room that was never built for my name

Chorus

Maybe if I was thinner

I wouldn't have to keep askin

Maybe if I was prettier

Could you like me then

I'm so tired of shrinking

To be something you'd choose

Maybe if I was thinner

Maybe I'd still lose

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Maybe I'd still lose

Oh-oh oh-oh

Maybe
