Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been holding my stomach in for so long
Don't even notice I'm doing it anymore
I work out hard, seven days a week
But I don't feel any differently
[PreChorus]
I wonder if I'll ever change
I don't think I can live this way
[Chorus]
I wake up hating my body
Scared that there's nothing that'll make it better
If I'm not happy and skinny, quiet and pretty
Do I even matter?
Hate being hungry when I go to sleep
Biting my tongue so much it's gonna bleed
I'm killing myself, but I don't think it's helping at all
Trying to be small
[PostChorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Walk over me, and I take it so politely
'Cause I still care what they think and if they like me
I used to smile and show my teeth
Now I don't smile at anything
[PreChorus]
I wonder if I'll ever change
I, I don't wanna be this way
[Chorus]
I wake up hating my body
Scared that there's nothing that'll make it better
If I'm not happy and skinny, quiet and pretty
Do I even matter?
Hate being hungry when I go to sleep
Biting my tongue so much it's gonna bleed
I'm killing myself, but I don't think it's helping at all
Trying to be
[Bridge]
Everything that makes me sad
A therapist, a punching bag
Wish I could eat and not feel bad
Swear I'm gonna scream
No one's ever listening
And they don't care, it's killing me
As long as I can fucking sing
Then life is a dream
[Chorus]
But I wake up hating my body
Scared that there's nothing that'll make it better
If I'm not happy and skinny, quiet and pretty
Do I even matter?
Hate being hungry when I go to sleep
Biting my tongue so much it's gonna bleed
I'm killing myself, but I don't think it's helping at all
[Outro]
I'm killing myself, and I don't think it's healthy at all
Trying to be small
