Tell me to smile and I'll
Die a little inside why do I
Not get to love
What the mirror shows me
Cause that'll be so bold
All the names I'll get called
It's never, see it's never right
I'm either crazy or shy
Now I hate myself the most for needing all this validation
Just me calling me pretty leaves the room for hesitation
Cause is she really all that in the eyes that are the world?
I wanna be a woman but I feel like just a girl
I wanna cover up and dress way bigger, oversized
I wanna feel the comfort of the body that is mine
And as I walk the streets of the cities, I call home
Don't want my keys between my fingers, fake calling the phone
Knuckles and keys
For my enemies
But I mostly compete with myself
It ain't so pretty
To change my physique
Measure up to somebody else
I should do as I like, as the guys do
They wouldn't wanna walk a mile in my shoes
I don't recall me asking how to
Be what you want me to
Femininity ain't here to please you
I'm asking for respect like Aretha
The way you look at me is medieval
Did anything change ever since?
Traces of my outline, something I decide to show
If you ask me a question, it's an option to say no
I said no (I said no)
Puppets cut the strings off when they're tired of pretending
Don't say a word if you're not ready for the consequences
I do not owe you anything
Knuckles and keys
For my enemies
But I mostly compete with myself
It ain't so pretty
To change my physique
Measure up to somebody else
I should do as I like, as the guys do
They wouldn't wanna walk a mile in my shoes
I don't recall me asking how to
Be what you want me to
Femininity ain't here to please you
I'm asking for respect like Aretha
The way you look at me is medieval
Did anything change ever since?
I ain't here to please you
I ain't here to please you
I ain't here to please you
I ain't here to please you
I ain't here to please you
I ain't here to please you
I ain't here to please you
I ain't here to please you
