Verse 1 (Detached melodic rap, bitter and vulnerable)
First time I hated my body I was thirteen
Comparing myself to girls on a phone screen
Learned how to suck in my stomach at parties
Like being beautiful mattered more than breathing
Magazine girls with impossible waists
Now every mirror got something to say
Cut my hair, change my clothes, paint my face
Still somehow never enough to feel safe
Pre-Chorus (Soft haunting singing)
Everybody’s watching
Everybody compares
And every girl grows up thinking
She’s the problem somewhere
Chorus (Sharp emotional pop chorus, dark and cinematic)
High heels walking like combat boots
Pretty pain dressed up as truth
They call it beauty, we call it damage
Starving hearts in bathroom mirrors
Getting older, growing meaner
Nobody gets out untouched
Learning how to hide the bruises
Girlhood is a warzone
Verse 2 (Sharper rap, angrier delivery)
Pretty girls get praised like it’s currency
Meanwhile ugly words turn into insecurity
Filters blur faces till nobody’s real
Now we all hate ourselves for sex appeal
Taught young beauty is survival
That being wanted means being valuable
So we bleed for trends and call it self-care
Break ourselves down just to fit somewhere
Pre-Chorus (More emotional layered vocals)
Nobody talks about
What this pressure does
How girls learn to hate themselves
Before they learn what love is
Chorus (Full power emotional chorus)
High heels walking like combat boots
Pretty pain dressed up as truth
They call it beauty, we call it damage
Starving hearts in bathroom mirrors
Getting older, growing meaner
Nobody gets out untouched
Learning how to hide the bruises
Girlhood is a warzone
Bridge (Soft spoken into emotional belt)
We learned beauty before boundaries
Perfection before peace
And every flaw feels catastrophic
When the whole world’s looking at you
Final Chorus (Huge emotional ending, layered vocals)
High heels walking like combat boots
Pretty pain dressed up as truth
They call it beauty, we call it damage
Starving hearts in bathroom mirrors
Getting older, growing meaner
Nobody gets out untouched
Learning how to hide the bruises
Girlhood is a warzone
Outro (Whispered vocals)
Girlhood was never gentle
