Ballerina

[Verse 1]

My body is a relic of an untrained ballerina

Quit at 5, you should've seen her, she was great

Scared off by talents in buns who could balance

An art with an impossible weight

[Verse 2]

My body is a relic of an untrained ballerina

Quit at 5, you should've seen her, she was great

[Pre-Chorus]

Waste all my money on books that I won't read

Still stories look pretty on my dusty shelf

And I keep shit talking the girls I respect

Cause I'm not far away from who I was at 12

[Chorus]

I'm a mess in a dress

Just short of a college degree

I could never possess

The courage of a nobody

A sparkling quitter, self-love counterfeiter

I'm safe and I'm stuck as a potential winner

A mess in a dress

Just short of a college degree

[Verse 3]

I'll let the college boys steal all my powers

Cause I spent my whole allowance on a taste

So I preach all my opinions, always talking never listening

Always looking for that little girl I've erased

[Pre-Chorus]

Waste all my money on books that I won't read

Still stories look pretty on my dusty shelf

And I keep shit talking the girls I respect

Cause I'm not far away from who I was at 12

[Chorus]

I'm a mess in a dress

Just short of a college degree

I could never possess

The courage of a nobody

A sparkling quitter, self-love counterfeiter

I'm safe and I'm stuck as a potential winner

[Bridge]

Walking with my ghosts

I own too many coats and

Girls who can cover my bad side

Walking with my ghosts I've

I keep them under oath, no

Wonder why I just can't sleep right

[Chorus]

I'm a mess in a dress

Just short of a college degree

I could never possess

The courage of a nobody

A sparkling quitter, self-love counterfeiter

I'm safe and I'm stuck as a potential winner

A mess in a dress

Just short of a college degree
