used to be pretty - blü eyes lyrics
[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’ve hated my body
since the beginning
i’m starting to wonder if i’ll always look at myself and just think
i used to be pretty
[verse 2]
sad and naïve, a size three, wouldn’t eat
i survived on the lies fed to me through a screen
i was numb
every compliment hit like a drug, mm
[pre*chorus]
i compare myself to who i was
will 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’ve hated my body
as long as i’ve breathed
i’m starting to wonder if i’ll always look at myself and just think
i used to be pretty
[bridge]
mean to myself
putting my mind through h*ll
locked away in a cell trying to fit in a box there
for somebody else, sacrificing my health
i was crying for help
[outro]
i wish i was pretty
and took up less sp*ce
yeah, i’m not as small as i used to be
i hope one day i’ll know that’s okay
