i am not happy being alone
never happy being alone

turning twenty-three this year
still not comfortable in my own skin
look at her then i look at me
find something bad, find something else to change

oh, i'm too hard on myself
maybe 'cause i was born pretty
i was born slim with the perfect skin
and everyone loved me

yes, now i'm happy
i can eat how much i want
i don't starve myself anymore
but i'm still sad

kinda sad i'm no longer pretty
grew this fat in my tummy
pimples growing from my lack of sleep
working harder everyday for my future

used to lay in bed without work
had men paying for all i needed
while i dressed up and put make-up on
every single day to keep them loving me

i sold my body, sold my soul
now my old life's come and gone
don't know what it's like to stay happy
how do i stay happy?

know he loves me
but does he think she's pretty?
when we walk in malls as i hold his hand
does he glance at her and wonder if he were her man?

don't want to be alone
i'm scared of being alone

getting older each day
still don't know why i let these things get to me
so self-aware yet i make the same mistakes
maybe i'm just sad 'cause i miss being pretty
