Maybe if I cut myself
Or made myself prettier and thinner
Then you would love me,
Not leave me all alone.
Maybe if I made that jump
Or made myself in your image
Then I would finally be good enough
And not an outcast.
Maybe if I cut myself
Or made myself prettier and thinner
Then you would finally love me
And I wouldn't be the shameful daughter.

Or made myself prettier and thinner
Then you would love me,
Not leave me all alone.
Maybe if I made that jump
Or made myself in your image
Then I would finally be good enough
And not an outcast.
Maybe if I cut myself
Or made myself prettier and thinner
Then you would finally love me
And I wouldn't be the shameful daughter.
