[Verse 1]
Dinner plates and side-eyes
Forks tap like a ticking clock
"Do you really need seconds?"
I laugh it off
Then swallow the shock
They pass around their phone pics
Angles
Filters
Tiny waists
"Look how good your cousin looks"
I pull my hoodie up
Hide my face
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word
Sticks under my skin
Every joke
Cuts a little in
I pretend I don't hear it
But it echoes in my room at night
[Chorus]
I’m tired of being
Too much of me
Too loud
Too soft
Too wrong to be seen
You line us up
Say who you'd rather be
But I'm not her
And she’s not me
How come my body
Feels like a crime scene?
I’m tired of being
Too much of me
[Verse 2]
Sister in her swimsuit
They say she "could be on TV"
Then they pinch my side and chuckle
"Guess it skips a girl or three"
Shopping trips turn silent
When the zipper just won’t climb
"Maybe try the bigger size"
Like I failed some secret test this time
[Pre-Chorus]
Every mirror
Feels like it betrays
Every outfit
Is another maze
I pretend I don’t feel it
But I’m shrinking just to make you proud
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
What if my softness
Is where my strength lives?
What if these curves
Hold all my best gifts?
If I never look like
Your perfect little dream
Can I still be enough
Just breathing
Just being?
[Chorus]
