lyrics

It’s dark
Inside and out.
No one to shake me
And drive it all out.
It’s shame,
Which is only five letters,
But it packs a big punch
That’ll never feel better.

Why am I here with my cheeks soaked in tears
Hating that very same face?
I need to be proud and I need scream loud
What I’ve waited my whole life to say:

I deserve love.
I’ll find it someday.
It may not come tomorrow,
But I will wait.
I deserve to feel
Good in my skin
‘Cause everyone is beautiful
In the body they’re in.

I’ve been hurt
But not quite like this.
It’s worse when your heart’s torn
Out by your own fists.

Why does my self-esteem reside down by my feet?
I’m sick of lifting it up off the floor.
But it’s all in my mind, and I will be fine.
I’ve got a million things to keep fighting for.

I deserve love.
I’ll find it someday.
It may not come tomorrow,
But I will wait.
I deserve to feel
Good in my skin
‘Cause everyone is beautiful
In the body they’re in.

I’ve survived my darkest days,
And I am resilient, and that won’t change.
Mountains are tall, but I’ve got strength,
And no matter how much I think I don’t

I deserve love.
I’ll find it someday.
It may not come tomorrow,
But I will wait.
I deserve to feel
Good in my skin
‘Cause everyone is beautiful
In the body they’re in.

I deserve to cry
Or get up and dance,
And that won’t make me
Less of a man.
