lyrics

I don’t recognize myself
It’s surreal surely I’m thinking of somebody else
I don’t think I look like the front-woman of a band
But that’s where I am

These people on my shoulders
Don’t have my best intentions in mind
I was just trying to get through the workday
Without crying in the backroom

You never thought I was trying my best
I’ve never thought I was trying my best
Do you want to be in my movie
Is that the only way you’ll see how you’ve affected me
You never thought that I was trying my best

I’m losing the weight of hating my body
Shame or guilt or maybe I was ill
So many red flags have me feeling unlucky
But that’s where I’ve been

These people on my shoulders
Don’t have my best interest in mind
I was just trying to get through the party
Without crying in the bathroom
