[Verse 1] I saw you dancing in that blown-out party light Kissed your mouth once and lost my whole life that night Been living like a shadow, trying to fit beneath your skin Changing every part of me, hoping you’d let me in [Pre-Chorus] And I thought it was pretty how I broke myself for you Keeping all my scars just to never lose the truth [Chorus] If I were a little prettier… maybe you would’ve stayed If I were a little thinner… maybe I wouldn’t fade If I looked like the dream you always wanted to love Maybe you wouldn’t leave me with this aching, burning cut Maybe you would’ve held me, maybe you’d still be here Maybe you would’ve held me… maybe you’d still be here [Verse 2] I kept repainting all of me to match the colors of your life Bit my tongue a thousand times pretending I was fine Filled notebooks with your name shaking deep inside the dark Songs I never sent you ’cause I never knew where to start [Bridge – slightly trimmed but still long] I go through all our photos like someone bleeding slow Your scent on my shirt whispers truths I shouldn’t know And in the mirror I look for the girl you kept so near That perfect little version I kept trying to appear… [Chorus] If I were a little prettier… maybe you would’ve stayed If I were a little thinner… maybe I wouldn’t fade If I looked like the dream you always wanted to love Maybe you wouldn’t leave me with this aching, burning cut Maybe you would’ve held me, maybe you’d still be here Maybe you would’ve held me… maybe you’d still be here [Last Line] ’Cause I’m getting a little stronger…
