[Verse 1]

Some middle-aged gym bro with nothin' else to do

Is typin' in all caps, sayin' I should lose a few

And I'm plannin' my reply, wastin' my energy

On some unimportant guy only tryin' to bait me


[Chorus]

And the more time I spend on him, the less I spend on me

And the less I spend on me, the less that I'm recovering

I'm draftin' up responses, tryin' to say the perfect thing

When the only thing I should be sayin' is nothing


[Verse 2]

I'm squeezin' into jeans 'cause they don't carry my size

And they don't really make clothes for bodies that look like mine

And Grace won't stop complaining about how fat she feels

While I'm in the other changing room wishing I could disappear


[Chorus]

And the more that I dwell on this, the more that I hate me

And the more that I hate me, the less that I'm recovering

Wishing I could rapidly change everything about me

When the only thing I should be changing is nothing


[Post-Chorus]

The only thing I should be changing is nothing


[Outro]

When my thoughts get mean, what should I do? Disengage

When I feel shame about eating food — Eat it anyway

When I gain weight, what should I do? Throw the scale away

The only thing I should be doing is nothing
