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
