Lyrics

0:41Do you know me
0:48Really know me
0:55You have opinions about my opinions
1:07About my music
1:11About my clothes
1:17About my body
1:23Some people hate what I wear
1:26Some people praise it
1:31Some people use it to shame others
1:34Some people use it to shame me
1:40But I feel you watching
1:46Always
1:48And nothing I do goes unseen
1:51So while I feel your stares your disapproval or your sigh of relief
2:00If I lived by them I'd never be able to move
2:05Would you like me to be smaller weaker softer taller
2:13Would you like me to be quiet
2:18Do my shoulders provoke you
2:21Does my chest
2:22Am I my stomach
2:24My hips
2:26The body I was born with
2:31Is it not what you wanted
2:37If I wear what is comfortable I am not a woman
2:44If I shed the layers I'm a slut
2:52Though you've never seen my body you still judge it
2:57And judge me for it
3:02Why
3:06We make assumptions about people based on their size
3:11We decide who they are
3:14We decide what they're worth
3:19If I wear more if I wear less
3:23Who decides what that makes me what that means
3:28Is my value based only on your perception
3:33Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility
Do you know me
Really know me
You have opinions about my opinions
About my music
About my clothes
About my body
Some people hate what I wear
Some people praise it
Some people use it to shame others
Some people use it to shame me
But I feel you watching
Always
And nothing I do goes unseen
So while I feel your stares your disapproval or your sigh of relief
If I lived by them I'd never be able to move
Would you like me to be smaller weaker softer taller
Would you like me to be quiet
Do my shoulders provoke you
Does my chest
Am I my stomach
My hips
The body I was born with
Is it not what you wanted
If I wear what is comfortable I am not a woman
If I shed the layers I'm a slut
Though you've never seen my body you still judge it
And judge me for it
Why
We make assumptions about people based on their size
We decide who they are
We decide what they're worth
If I wear more if I wear less
Who decides what that makes me what that means
Is my value based only on your perception
Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility
