Hate Me

I’m not comfortable in my own skin

I’m so afraid to let people in

I find it hard to trust

I’ve been broken twice

I asked when I was five, but I’ll ask again

Why can’t people just be nice?

Momma says little girl, don’t you ever frown

But I really can’t help to, been feeling so down

She said to me, ignore that mirror

But it’s just showing what’s there

Oh, I’m only thin air

I hate my reflection, hate who I am

Hate what I’ve become, hate that I can’t

Be just like those other girls, can’t belong in the same world

Does it make sense to go on?

Does it make sense to be strong?

I’m done with this, will anyone miss

Whatever name they’ve given me, whatever they say they can see?

Does it make sense to believe?

Why don’t I just leave?

Dark, dreary nights give me so much time to think

What if I vanished with my next blink?

What if I drowned in the river?

Would suicide be a sin to the Giver?

Oh, can He even hear?

Do I have reason to fear?

Daddy says I’m his perfect princess

I don’t need the crowns or the dress

But I’m far more than imperfect

Is living through this even worth it?

Do they really think I’m worth it?

I hate my reflection, hate who I am

Hate what I’ve become, hate that I can’t

Be just like those other girls, can’t belong in the same world

Does it make sense to go on?

Does it make sense to be strong?

I’m done with this, will anyone miss

Whatever name they’ve given me, whatever they say they can see?

Does it make sense to believe?

Why don’t I just leave?

If I go will they notice?

Will they know?

Will they understand I just want this pain to leave?

You see I’m not beautiful

That’s how a girl gets through this world

I’m not talented, extravagant, elegant, better than

What you think I could be, I’m just me

What the mirror sees

Is it a burden if I breathe?

Mirror, why don’t you love me?

(Piano)

I hate my reflection, hate who I am

Hate what I’ve become, hate that I can’t

Be just like those other girls, can’t belong in the same world

Does it make sense to go on?

Does it make sense to be strong?

I’m done with this, will anyone miss

Whatever name they’ve given me, whatever they say they can see?

Does it make sense to believe?

Why don’t I just leave?
