Feet in the Pool

I'll only stick my feet in the pool

I wear my sweater in summer, too

I hug every pillow and buy oversized clothes

'Cause of jokes the kids made in school

Don't shop at the same stores as my friends

When they're around, I'll always eat less

When I go on first dates, they won't think I'm the same

Person from the photos I sent

At least that's what I expect

All I've ever known is putting life on hold

'Til I can show my skin, 'til my body just fits in

Am I small enough for them to fall in love?

It could change me inch by inch, in my mind I'll never win

No matter what I do, there's always more to lose

I'm the wingman, support and role

Background in the love stories told

I'm no more indifferent to all that I'm missing

'Cause I can't hit a moving goal

And I'll never get close

All I've ever known is putting life on hold

'Til I can show my skin, 'til my body just fits in

Am I small enough for them to fall in love?

It could change me inch by inch, in my mind I'll never win

No matter what I do, there's always more to lose

And I'll always hate the me in the mirror

I only see my size and my fears

My worth is a number I'll never get under

Why can't I love the me standing here?
