Smaller

It's a tired fascination with everything I'm not and
Wasting nights wondering, trying to figure out, oh
Maybe if I'm quiet, maybe if I'm lighter, maybe I'll be something
Someone you would like

If I'm smaller and if I'm different just a little less
Would you love me?
If I wasn't this with some bigger lips and some smaller hips
Would you love me?

It's an overdone obsession with chasing what I'm not and
Something I've been hiding
Space I'm taking up and slouching in my shoulders and
Curving in my back afraid that all this space I'm in Is just too much to have

If I'm smaller and if I'm different just a little less
Would you love me?
If I wasn't this with some bigger lips and some smaller hips
Would you love me?

And I can't change what just stays the same
So I keep trying to love me how I'm made

I know I'm hating on my mother, I'm disrespecting dad by
Spending nights trying to change the way I am
I'm tearing at my structure, pulling at my skin
Just wishing I was smaller and different
And I'm spitting on the people who love me just like this
Who don't wish that I was smaller or less of anything
And I'm yelling in my silence, so make the voices stop
Let me sleep in quiet, not thinking that I ought to be

Smaller and different, Just a little less
So you can love me
With none of this and some bigger lips and some smaller hips
So you can love me

And I can't change what just stays the same
But I keep trying to love me how I'm made
How I'm made
How I'm made
How I'm made

If I'm smaller and if I'm different just a little less
Would you love me?
If I wasn't this with some bigger lips and some smaller hips
Would you love me?
