Gender Envy

Avoiding mirrors from an early age
Trying to burn down this image that they've made
Always a step closer to who I wanna be
But the me I need to be is far different
From the one you see

Baby I wish I could
Crawl under your skin
'Cause I've felt misunderstood
Since the beginning
I don't feel at home inside this body
So I've been lying to everybody

Waking up I wanna tear off my skin
All these people are telling me it's a sin
Cover up with make-up and grow out my hair
Most days I wish I could just disappear

Baby I wish I could
Crawl under your skin
'Cause I've felt misunderstood
Since the beginning
I don't feel at home inside this body
So I've been lying to everybody

Take a deep breath
Take a step back
We'll make it out of this
Even if we get pushed back
Turn up your head
Block out that noise
Even if it kills me I'm gonna do what feels right

Baby I wish I could
Crawl under your skin
'Cause I've felt misunderstood
Since the beginning
I don't feel at home inside this body
So I've been lying to everybody
