[Verse 1] The mirror says I'm disappearing, Jeans hang loose around my bones. Everyone keeps saying, "You look amazing," But I still hear the body that I know. The numbers fall like autumn leaves, The scale keeps whispering, "You're alive." But every inch I leave behind Still follows me inside. [Pre-Chorus] How do you outrun A ghost wearing your skin? How do you convince your mind The war is finally giving in? [Chorus] I'm shrinking on the outside, Still fat within. Building a new body, Can't erase where I've been. Every scar remembers, Every mirror fucking lies. I'm getting lighter every day, But the heavy never dies. I'm shrinking on the outside... Still fat within. [Verse 2] I pass reflections without looking, Afraid they'll drag me back again. Every compliment feels borrowed, Like they're meant for someone else instead. I spent so many years believing I deserved to disappear. Now I'm standing in the sunlight... Why's the darkness still so fucking near? [Pre-Chorus] How do you silence A voice that learned your name? When every victory you celebrate Still somehow feels the same. [Chorus] I'm shrinking on the outside, Still fat within. Every pound I leave behind Still clings beneath my skin. I can change the picture, But not the eyes I see. The hardest weight I'll ever lose Is the one inside of me. I'm shrinking on the outside... Still fat within. [Bridge] Maybe healing isn't measured By the numbers that I lose. Maybe freedom starts the moment I stop believing every bruise. Or maybe that's just bullshit... Maybe trauma doesn't care. You can lose a hundred fucking pounds... And it'll still be standing there. [Breakdown] You hear applause. I hear failure. You see progress. I see the fucking person I swore I'd leave behind. [Final Chorus] I'm shrinking on the outside, Still healing within. The body's finally changing... Now let my mind begin. I'm more than every number. I'm more than every size. So why the fuck's that voice inside Still feeding me its lies? I'm shrinking on the outside... One breath... One pound... One scar... One life... At a time.
