[Verse 1]

I'm hard to read

All of my pages out of reach

Buried away in ancient Greece

A language nobody knows

Let me breathe

Everyone's begging for a piece

They say I'm made how I should be

But why can't I let that show?

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't know what I'm thinking

Can you wait here and listen

I don't want to depreciate all of the pretty ways

You talk me down

But I still turn away

[Chorus]

'Cause you know how I feel about my body

All the ripples and tears

I am sorry for pooping the party

But let me rain on my own parade

Why can't I see me in the way that they all do?

When I'm looking in the mirror

Why can't he tell me I'm pretty

And it's in my head

(It's in my head)

[Verse 2]

I'm prone to hurt

All of my pounds are in the dirt

All that I see is years of girth

And hours of misery

And I'm bound to break

Tugging away upon my braids

Watering all my dead bouquets

Can only last for a week

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't know what I'm thinking

Can you wait here and listen

I don't want to depreciate all of the pretty ways

You talk me down

But I still turn away

[Chorus]

'Cause you know how I feel about my body

All the ripples and tears

I am sorry for pooping the party

But let me rain on my own parade

Why can't I see me in the way that they all do?

When I'm looking in the mirror

Why can't he tell me I'm pretty

And it's in my head

(It's in my head)

[Bridge]

You don't know what I'm thinking

I just wish that they'd listen

I just want to appreciate all of the pretty things

Without having to turn away

[Chorus]

'Cause you know how I feel about my body

All the ripples and tears

I am sorry for pooping the party

But let me rain on my own parade

Why can't I see me in the way that they all do?

When I'm looking in the mirror

Why can't he tell me I'm pretty

And it's in my head

(It's in my head)
