L Y R I C S
I've been looking myself, up and down, checking all my flaws out
I've been saying shit to the mirror that isn't nice for quite a while now
Hate myself, it's a full time job, I want some time off
Twenty-four seven, brain is open and you know she never shuts up

Shuts up, in the club
Looking at the other girls, with their bigger butts
Ugly crying in the car, like what the fuck?
Why am I not smart like Rosa Parks, or fit like Kate Moss?

I get
I can't please everyone I see
But it would be nice
If one day I could just please me
I would never ever judge anyone else
Not in the way that I judge myself
I made a prison, now I'm stuck in this cell
Maybe I could use some help

And I, wish that I-I-I
I could see myself from o-o-o-other eyes
They would tell me "girl, you're fi-i-i-i-ine"
"So stop messing up your li-i-i-i-ife"

Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
I just wanna like myself

I've been giving myself bad reviews for a couple decades
Analyzing random shit about my body, feet right up to my face
Someone else is always better, hotter, ready to take your place
Twenty-four seven, phone is open and you know she never shuts up

(She never shuts up)
Shuts up, on TikTok
Looking at the famous girls with their followers
Ugly crying in my bed, like what the fuck?
Why do I rate myself a two when I'm five star?

I get
I can't please everyone I see
But it would be nice
If one day I could just please me
I would never ever judge anyone else (never, never)
Not in the way that I judge myself
I made a prison, now I'm stuck in this cell
Maybe I could use some help

And I, wish that I-I-I
I could see myself from o-o-o-other eyes
They would tell me "girl, you're fi-i-i-i-ine"
"So stop messing up your li-i-i-i-ife" (with your life)

Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da (I wish that I)
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da (Could see myself from different eyes)
Da-da-da-da (They would tell me "girl, you're fine", yeah)
I just wanna like myself
