Before You Hold Me

I just remembered that I'm lonely

Every two months

I need someone to hold me

Is that too much?

And trace the tattoo on my neck

And tell me that they don't regret

Tryna get to know me

Reminds me that I'm lonely

Cover up the drama queen

The things my mother gave to me

Before you hold me

I need a better body

I need to stop believing that I'm pretty when I'm not

I could be rotting from within

As long as I've got perfect skin

Before you know me

Before you hold me

I just remembered that I hate me

Is that okay?

When he tells his friends about me

I bet he'll say

"He takes care of his plants maybe more than himself

And he's down a few sizes and wearing a belt

And I would take him out to my favourite bar

But maybe I won't, 'cause he tries too hard"

Before you hold me

I need a better body

I need to stop believing that I'm pretty when I'm not

I could be rotting from within

As long as I've got perfect skin

Before you know me

Before you hold me

If there was a pill I could take right now

To change everything I hate 'bout myself

If there was a pill I could take right now

To change everything I hate 'bout myself

If there was a pill I could take right now

To change everything I hate 'bout myself

If there was a pill I could take right now

To change everything I hate 'bout myself, I would

Before you hold me

I need to like my body

I need to start believing that I'm pretty, 'cause I am

If I change the things I hate

It's a never-ending fate

I've gotta know me

Before you hold me
