BLÜ EYES - ​used to be pretty

{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
