Why Won't You Look at Me

V6

Lyrics [Intro] Baby… why won’t you look at me the way I need? [Verse 1] I carved my body into something you’d want Silicone heavy, spine screaming every step Froze every muscle so the lines wouldn’t show Peeled my face raw just to glow for you Still you scroll past me like I’m not even here I keep cutting pieces off until I fit the shape of your heart I’ll bleed the rest of me out if that’s what it takes [Pre-Chorus] I did everything right Everything you never even asked for So tell me why it still isn’t enough [Chorus] Why can’t you love me the way I love you? I’d tear myself open, rearrange every bone Make myself smaller, softer, prettier, new Until there’s nothing left that isn’t yours You look at me like I’m the problem Like my need is some kind of attack If I’m too much then make me less I’ll disappear if that’s the only way you’ll stay [Verse 2] I’ve been hungry since I was little Empty rooms, empty eyes, nobody choosing me I just wanted someone to see me and not leave But you keep choosing everything else The screen, the games, the silence You call it space, I call it punishment You know exactly what you’re doing You want me desperate and you like it [Pre-Chorus] I gave you every version of me And you still won’t reach back [Chorus] Why can’t you love me the way I love you? I’d tear myself open, rearrange every bone Make myself smaller, softer, prettier, new Until there’s nothing left that isn’t yours You look at me like I’m the problem Like my need is some kind of attack If I’m too much then make me less I’ll disappear if that’s the only way you’ll stay [Bridge] So I broke the TV Smashed the Xbox you loved more than me Ripped every shirt, every shoe, every soft thing that smelled like you The whole house looks like how I feel And somehow it’s still your fault You made me this way You left me no choice This is what you deserve for not loving me enough [Final Chorus] Why can’t you love me the way I love you? I’d burn every piece of myself down to the ground Just to fit inside the space you refuse to give me I hate you for making me need this much I hate myself more for still wanting you If loving you means destroying everything Then fine I’ll keep destroying Until you finally see me [Outro] Look at me Just look at me Why won’t you love me… Why won’t you…
