Smaller Than This lyrics

[Verse 1]

I wake up early, sometimes at 5:30 to run

My mom got too worried, I had to tell her it was fun

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I feel like a failure if I don't skip breakfast and lunch

I'm chasing a body I know that I'll never outrun

[Chorus]

'Cause I'll always wish I was smaller than this

And I just can't quit pulling at my skin

Oh, I'm scared that I'm never gonna like

How I look and I wish I knew why

'Cause I'll always wish I was smaller than this

[Verse 2]

I'll set a goal for myself and I'll try to work hard

I'll reach it but swear I look just like I did from the start

[Pre-Chorus]

I know that it's not true but I feel like I'm the only one

Who's chasing a body I know that I'll never outrun

[Chorus]

'Cause I'll always wish I was smaller than this

And I just can't quit pulling at my skin

Oh, I'm scared that I'm never gonna like

How I look and I wish I knew why

That I'll always wish I was smaller than this

[Bridge]

I was smaller

I was smaller

I was smaller

I wish I was

I was smaller

I was smaller

I was smaller

I wish I was

[Chorus]

I'll always wish I was smaller than this (I was smaller, I was smaller)

And I just can't quit pulling at my skin (I was smaller, I was smaller)

(I was smaller, I was smaller)

Oh, I'm scared that I'm never gonna like

How I look and I wish I knew why

That I'll always wish I was smaller than this
