Yesterday I swear to god
I almost shaved my head
But as I skimmed through concerned messages
My razor wound up dead
What's the difference if I keep it
I'll just pull it out instead
It's not worth it
It's not worth it
And I still think about those green tea serum ads
When I was 10
They waste no time when they teach little girls
How aging is a sin
God forbid I even breathe
Another line might scar my skin
Well, who could love me
Who would love me then
I've been dancing on a tightrope
Of too much and not enough
Won't be long before I'm crashing to the ground
Oh and even when I'm dead
They'll whisper underneath their breath
Like if the casket compliments the colors
In my dress
I'll never be
Mmm
Who they want me to be
I always count the steps it takes
To talk off 5 green M&Ms
But then I'll down the bag and save the guilt
For future me to tend
The weight of everyone's opinions
Tips the scale, leaves twice the dent
I can't escape it
I'll never escape this
And if I hear just one more time
From grown men telling me to smile
I'll package up my teeth
And gift them to the first one passing by
Should I be sorry I don't care
If I look pretty all the time
Tell me why it bothers you
Tell me why it bothers you at all
I've been dancing on a tightrope
Of too much and not enough
Won't be long before I'm crashing to the ground
Oh but even when I'm dead
They'll place the blame upon my chest
But thicker skin won't mask the bruises
From the words that they've said
I'll never be
Mmm
Who they want me to be
I'll never be
Who they want me to be
I'll never be
Who they want me to be
Oh
