I’ve been tracing my flaws since I thought about seeing you
small hairs old scars stretch marks freckles
I’ve been squeezing my thighs they’ve got lots of work to do
old scabs fresh spots claw marks ruined
I swear I didn’t mean to tear myself apart
I couldn’t stop once I knew what you thought of me
I swear I didn’t think I would make it this far
Looks like love got the best of me
