Lyrics
She laughs at all the right moments
She never takes up too much space
She knows just how to hold herself
With that unbothered kind of grace
I've been practicing her posture
In the mirror since I was nine
Can't figure out that magic trick
Of making broken look divine
And I know she isn't real
But I look for her in every room
And I know she isn't real
But I'm never enough, she haunts me
I want to move like she does
Smile like she does
Take the light like she does
And disappear like she does
I've been chasing a ghost
Who lives inside my head
Who looks like everything I'm not
And loves like she's never bled
She never questions her own laughter
She doesn't shrink and call it kind
She was never taught to make herself
A little easier to find
I've been leaving her small offerings -
My confidence, my appetite
Still she won't come live inside me
And still I can't become her light
And I know she isn't real...
The cruelest thing about a ghost
Is she can't tell you you're enough
She just stands there in the hallway
Just looking effortless and loved
I built her from a hundred girls
Who probably hate themselves too
And now I can't stop seeing her
Every time I look at myself
I know she isn't real
- but god, I wish I was her.
She never takes up too much space
She knows just how to hold herself
With that unbothered kind of grace
I've been practicing her posture
In the mirror since I was nine
Can't figure out that magic trick
Of making broken look divine
And I know she isn't real
But I look for her in every room
And I know she isn't real
But I'm never enough, she haunts me
I want to move like she does
Smile like she does
Take the light like she does
And disappear like she does
I've been chasing a ghost
Who lives inside my head
Who looks like everything I'm not
And loves like she's never bled
She never questions her own laughter
She doesn't shrink and call it kind
She was never taught to make herself
A little easier to find
I've been leaving her small offerings -
My confidence, my appetite
Still she won't come live inside me
And still I can't become her light
And I know she isn't real...
The cruelest thing about a ghost
Is she can't tell you you're enough
She just stands there in the hallway
Just looking effortless and loved
I built her from a hundred girls
Who probably hate themselves too
And now I can't stop seeing her
Every time I look at myself
I know she isn't real
- but god, I wish I was her.
