clothes off the rack - isabelle mettle lyrics

[intro]
okay, mm

[verse 1]
turn your back ’cause your eyes are like my hips
would you turn 180 if the size 4 didn’t fit?
would you listen carefully or just stare at my lips
instead of carrying the weight put in my words not in my hips?
would it be a shock to say i like it as it is?
perceptions haven’t changed, they’ve said the same since i was six
i’ve done all the comparing, studied for it like a quiz
i’ve stared at broken mirrors tryna get a quick fix, it won’t stick
i feel sick picking up the pieces
pinching at my own skin, it wasn’t mine, just a shield from the cold
the words stick, could’ve formed a thesis
it was a joint effort, check the draft, i put our names in the bold
don’t get me wrong, i’ve said a word or two, i’m taking it back
’cause it’s in me and you, but you can take the clothes off the rack
and i’m not cutting any corners
in the root, not in the waters
in our mothers and our daughters
got the pen, we’re all the authors and

[chorus]
you and i, we got a little more in common then we’re showing (showing)
we’re picking petals off of flowers without knowing (knowing)
is it confidence if we don’t wanna grow it? (huh, uh)
you and i, we got a little more in common then we’re showing (showing)
we’re picking petals off of flowers without knowing
you can turn the light off if your heart don’t wanna grow it, uh (huh, uh)
[verse 2]
would you like me if i fit into this zip?
if i stuck it to my mouth and pulled the corners to my hips
would you like it more if i sat down for you and stripped?
am i vulnerable enough for you to see it how it is?
i used to love my face because i borrowed from my mother
but now we’re all contorted tryna shape into each other
i bought a new dress to impress you,
it’s stretched at the seam
if i could pull it off, i’d do it
if it meant i’d be seen ’cause

[chorus]
you and i, we got a little more in common then we’re showing
we’re picking petals off of flowers without knowing
is it confidence if we don’t let ’em grow it?
you and i, we got a little more in common then we’re showing
we’re picking petals off of flowers without knowing
you could turn the light off if your heart don’t wanna grow it, uh

[outro]
you and i, we got the strength to open up our inner poet
your words don’t hide your inner sadness, they just show it
you’re not present but you wanna throw the bow in
i know my thread’s got thin
not who i’ve been
not her, not him
i let it sting like ink on skin
it carves me out but stays within
we’re reflecting, you see in me what’s giving in
180 ’cause you don’t feel whole
i feel it too, a frozen soul
we’re turning cold, right into stone
please skip me back towards my home
a story told, a naked truth
your venom sold to save our youth
picking petals off of flowers we’re not knowing
