Shelley Segal Sidelined
[Chorus 1]
You want a skinny lover (x2)
And so I find
I have the wrong body (x2)
Even though I have
I have the right mind
[Chorus 1]
You want a skinny lover (x2)
And that's perfectly fine
But it means you will always
It means you will always want some other body
More than you'll want mine (x2)
[Chorus 2]
But this is familiar, it's who we've become
Slaves to aesthetic this is the tune that we hum
Can we change who we are?
Can we remove the filter from over our hearts?
If you're not beautiful you'll be side-lined
Can we let go of our pride
Of how we look on the outside?
Anyways I thought love was supposed to be blind (be blind)
[Chorus 1]
You want a skinny lover (x2)
And so I find
I have the wrong body
Even though I am the perfect kind
[Chorus 2]
But this is familiar, it's who we've become
Slaves to aesthetic this is the tune that we hum
Can we change who we are?
Can we remove the filter from over our hearts?
If you're not beautiful you'll be side-lined
Can we let go of our pride
Of how we look on the outside?
Anyways I thought love was supposed to be blind (be blind)
[Pre-Chorus]
For the first time in my life
I wish I was somebody else
All those bottles of teenage self-consciousness
Come tumbling down from the shelf
[Chorus 2]
But this is familiar its who we've become
Slaves to aesthetic this is the tune
This is the tune that we hum
Can we change who we are?
Can we remove the filter from over our hearts?
If you're not beautiful you'll be side-lined
Can we let go of our pride
Of how we look on the outside?
Anyways I thought love was supposed to be blind (be blind)
