Lyrics

Anti

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I don't feel like doing my hair but I

Don't need to glue anything to my hairline

Put on mascara to mask all my errors

So what are we doing this for?

I know you can't breathe

You can't move in that tight dress

And your feet killin' you

Who you trying to impress?

They all the same

But they end up in your bed

So who are you doing this for?

[Pre-Chorus]

All this scrutiny, on a tiny screen

Yeah, it's killing me, this society

Tell me, who is she? I'm comparing me

To something I feel like I have to be

[Chorus]

That's why I'm anti, don't ask why

I stay to myself, I'm just

Anti this, anti that

Don't have the time or the energy, I

[Verse 2]

Visions distorted, can't see what's important

I'm holding it back, an emotional hoarder

Don't deal with phonies, I don't like the faking

I'm anti-it-all at the end of the day

[Pre-Chorus]

All this scrutiny, on a tiny screen

Yeah, it's killing me, this society

Tell me, who is she? I'm comparing me

To something I feel like I have to be

[Chorus]

That's why I'm anti, don't ask why

I stay to myself, I'm just

Anti this, anti that

Don't have the time or the energy, I

Oh, I

Oh no, I'm never sure, no

Wondering what you love me for

Wondering, would you tell me, boy

Would you love me, love me more

If I could be, the most beautiful girl in the world

There'd be something else to make me insecure

Maybe then I would fit in this world
