Self-Esteem - Uke Version

Bruises on my neck and between my thighs
I like to hang out with abusive guys
The damaged kind of men who only
Know me when I'm dark and lonely
You could only wish to find me here
Trying my damn best to disappear

I learned self-esteem through how men consume me
Taught by magazines and romantic movies
Put on makeup, wear a dress
Keep your secrets, then confess your sins
I feel like my body's rotting from within

I bite my nails till they bleed
Then I bite them some more
I don't need your pity
I'll find a way to assure myself that I am more than this

Bad at finding love cause my heart's a wreck
So I settle for mediocre sex
The panicked kind of desperate only
I know when I feel unholy
Clothes are on the floor and lips on mine
I feel like I am losing my damn mind

So I try to be
Better on my own but I'm lonely
I get by and start to see
Maybe I'm just bad at loving me

Tie my worth to my body
Pull my hair, tell me I'm naughty
I feel an ungodly sense of dread
That I'm no more than how I am in bed
