Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Taller than the girls in class Head in the clouds Feet in the trash Every mirror's like a test Circle every place I hate Fail the rest They say "you're tiny" They say "you're huge" Same mouth New mood I'm the rumor in the room Changing shapes when I move [Chorus] I’ve never seen myself as beautiful Just a list of things they told me to control Too tall Too loud Too much Too small I only hear the names they called I’ve gone too numb to see my own glow Tracing every flaw like it’s all I’ll ever know If there’s a light in me It’s hiding in the cracks I want it back I want it back (oh) [Verse 2] Tried on confidence like clothes Tag still scratching at my throat Smile for pictures Crop my frame Scroll and scroll We all look the same They say "you’re perfect" They say "you’re wrong" I wear their voices Like a shirt that doesn’t fit Pulling at me all day long [Chorus] I’ve never seen myself as beautiful Just a story that was written by them all Too tall Too loud Too much Too small I only hear the names they called I’ve gone too numb to see my own glow Measuring my worth in every "yes" and "no" If there’s a light in me It’s hiding in the cracks I want it back I want it back (hey) [Bridge] What if I’m more than the angles they frame? More than the wins More than the shame What if the parts that I try to erase Are the very things giving me grace? [Chorus] I’ve never seen myself as beautiful But maybe I’ve been standing way too close Too tall Too loud Too much Too small Maybe that’s the best of it all I’ve been too numb to feel my own glow But I’m learning how to talk to my reflection slow There is a light in me Shining through the cracks I want it back I’m taking it back (oh) I’m taking it back
