[Verse 1]
My body is a relic of an untrained ballerina
Quit at 5, you should've seen her, she was great
Scared off by talents in buns who could balance
An art with an impossible weight

[Verse 2]
My body is a relic of an untrained ballerina
Quit at 5, you should've seen her, she was great

[Pre-Chorus]
Waste all my money on books that I won't read
Still stories look pretty on my dusty shelf
And I keep shit talking the girls I respect
Cause I'm not far away from who I was at 12

[Chorus]
I'm a mess in a dress
Just short of a college degree
I could never possess
The courage of a nobody
A sparkling quitter, self-love counterfeiter
I'm safe and I'm stuck as a potential winner
A mess in a dress
Just short of a college degree
[Verse 3]
I'll let the college boys steal all my powers
Cause I spent my whole allowance on a taste
So I preach all my opinions, always talking never listening
Always looking for that little girl I've erased

[Pre-Chorus]
Waste all my money on books that I won't read
Still stories look pretty on my dusty shelf
And I keep shit talking the girls I respect
Cause I'm not far away from who I was at 12

[Chorus]
I'm a mess in a dress
Just short of a college degree
I could never possess
The courage of a nobody
A sparkling quitter, self-love counterfeiter
I'm safe and I'm stuck as a potential winner

[Bridge]
Walking with my ghosts
I own too many coats and
Girls who can cover my bad side
Walking with my ghosts I've
I keep them under oath, no
Wonder why I just can't sleep right
[Chorus]
I'm a mess in a dress
Just short of a college degree
I could never possess
The courage of a nobody
A sparkling quitter, self-love counterfeiter
I'm safe and I'm stuck as a potential winner
A mess in a dress
Just short of a college degree
