Candi Carpenter - Skinny

[Verse 1]
SweeTarts and Mountain Dew
I didn't eat lunch at school
Sometimes I passed out
In marching band
I weighed myself twice a day
I threw my report card away
I drew smiley faces in
Gel pen on my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
Emily wanted to be a doctor
Casey wanted to be a mom

[Chorus]
And I just wanted to be skinny
Pretty and popular
A model for a famous photographer
Anything but an ugly awkward kid
I was starvin' for someone to give a shit
I was skinny
Skinny

[Verse 2]
They took off my braces
But my acne never faded
I still pick at my skin until it bleeds
And I order too much pizza
Because everything else tastes like sawdust
I choke my food and my feelings down when I eat

[Pre-Chorus]
My math teacher said I was stupid
The boys at school said I was gross

[Chorus]
And I just wanted to be skinny
Pretty and popular
But I was hungry and lonely
With terrible posture
Slumpin' over to hide my shame
I was starvin' for someone to know my name

[Chorus]
To be skinny
Pretty and popular
Like a movie star at the blockbuster
Anything but an ugly awkward kid
I was dyin' for someone to notice it
I was too skinny
Skinny
They called me skinny
Skinny

[Outro]
But I was literally tryin' to disappear
I was literally tryin' to disappear
I was literally tryin' to disappear
But guess what?
I'm still here
