Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1988616
verse 1
I start to cry in the dressing room light
What i thought was my size won't make it past my thighs and it hurts
Seeing myself at my worst
I turn to the side, taking pictures so my hips don't look quite as wide
Yeah, i'm real good at hiding my flaws
And trying to be something i'm not

pre-chorus
Oh, i try being kind but can't help
Hating this version of myself

chorus
I wish i was pretty
Like i used to be
At twenty-three when i'd look in the mirror and wish i was nineteen
Yeah, i hated my body
Since the beginning
I'm starting to wonder if i'd always look at myself and just think
I used to be pretty

verse 2
❲?❳ size of my hip, a size three wouldn't be
I survived on the lies fеd to me through a screen
I was wrong
Every compliment feel likе a drug, mm

pre-chorus
I couldn't tell myself who i was
Would i ever be good enough?

chorus
I wish i was pretty
Like i used to be
Back at nineteen when i'd look in the mirror and wish i was sixteen
I hated my body
As long as i breathe
I'm starting to wonder if i'll always look at myself and just think
I used to be pretty

bridge
Hated myself
Couldn't fight ❲?❳ through hell
Locked away in a ❲?❳
❲?❳ somebody else sacrificing my health
I was ❲?❳

outro
I wish i was pretty
And took up no? space
Yeah, i'm not as small as i used to be
I hope one day i'll know that's okay
