Petals

(VERSE ONE) Powder pink petals on me But I didn't love them I couldn’t see I wanted to be brighter Wanted my colors to shine Insecurity was fire So, I drenched myself in fertilizer I longed to be a different kind of flower Hated my stem and vines (PREHOOK) Wait! Wish that I could be like them like them All the other roses - so juicy and red Wish that body wasn't mine – not mine I'm ripping out my petals one at a time (CHORUS) I always thought that things would be different if I was beautiful Thought they would love me - If my jawline was tighter If my stomach was made of stone But now that I’ve ruined the colors that bloomed in The leaves that my body made Tell me Do you love me now? Ripped out all my petals for you Do you love me now? (VERSE TWO) As my vines wither I can see the grass was always greener under me But now my shades are dimmer Cause I never watered me (BRIDGE) Tell me, tell me, tell me do you love me? Tell me, tell me, tell me do you love me? Cause I don't love myself Cause I'm taught to hate myself Wait!
