Tightrope Lyrics by Kelaska

2022

[Verse 1]
Yesterday I swear to god I almost shaved my head
But as I skimmed through concerned messages my razor wound up dead
What’s the difference if I keep it, I’ll just pull it out instead
It’s not worth it, It’s not worth it

[Verse 2]
And I still think about those green tea serum ads when I was ten
They waste no time when they teach little girls how aging is a sin
God forbid I even breathe, another line might scar my skin
Well, who could love me
Who would love me then

[Chorus]
I’ve been dancing on a tightrope of too much and not еnough
Won’t be long before I’m crashing to thе ground
Oh and even when I’m dead, they’ll whisper underneath their breath
Like if the casket compliments the colors in my dress
I’ll never be, mmm
Who they want me to be

[Verse 3]
I always count the steps it takes to walk of five green M&M’s
But then I’ll down the bag and save the guilt for future me to tend
The weight of everyone’s opinions tips the scale, leaves twice the dent
I can’t escape it, I’ll never escape this

[Verse 4]
And if I hear just one more time from grown men telling me to smile
I’ll package up my teeth and gift them to the first one passing by
Should I be sorry I don’t care if I look pretty all the time
Tell me why it bothers you
Tell me why it bothers you at all

[Chorus]
I’ve been dancing on a tightrope of too much and not enough
Won’t be long before I’m crashing to the ground
Oh but even when I’m dead they’ll place the blame upon my chest
But thicker skin won’t mask the bruises from the words that they’ve said
I”ll never be, mmm
Who they want me to be

[Outro]
I’ll never be
Who they want me to be
I’ll never be
Who they want me to be, oh
