wearing shirts during sex isn't average i guess
but it makes me feel much better about the weird scars on my chest
and i wish more folks would talk about the little things they do
that might be weird, or unconventional, but help to get them through

because sometimes i feel so alone
and sometimes i feel like no one has secrets the way i do
and sometimes i think you all must love yourselves and awful lot
even though deep down i know that that's not true

now my friend marie refuses to wear clothes that have a waist
my friend brianna keeps a box of bandaids at each parent's place
you'd never know just by looking that they've got stuff going on
but that's the way that people are; we're always trying to be strong

and i wish more folks would talk about the things that they don't like
about themselves, the things that make them sick and keep them up at night
and it's not that i've got some weird obsession with people's self esteem
it's just that maybe if we talked awhile we'd learn to let it be

because sometimes i feel so alone
and sometimes i feel like no one has secrets the way i do
and sometimes i think you all must love yourselves and awful lot
even though deep down i know that that's not true

but sometimes i feel so alone
and sometimes i feel like no one has secrets the way i do
and sometimes i think you all must love yourselves and awful lot
even though deep down i know that that's not true
even though deep down i know that that's not true
