Burn Beautifully | "Make Myself Smaller" [Emo/Alternative]

LYRICS: [Verse] I used to fold myself to fit your frame I used to swallow words to play it safe I learned to shrink so you could take up space I learned to vanish with a smile on my face I dimmed the parts of me that burned too bright I dimmed my voice so you'd feel like you're right I gave up rooms I should've never left I gave up pieces till there's nothing left [Pre-Chorus] I'm done apologizing for taking up room I'm done disappearing just to keep the peace with you [Chorus] I'll never make myself smaller again I'll never make myself believe what you pretend The walls are coming down, and the ship is sailing now I won't reduce myself when you are never proud anyhow [Post-Chorus] Won't make myself, oh-whoa-oh Won't make myself smaller again [Verse] I used to ask permission just to breathe I used to beg for crumbs and call it enough to leave I traded all my color for your gray I traded my whole self just to make you stay I'm done with bowing till my spine goes numb I'm done with waiting for a love that never comes I'm taking back the space I gave away I'm taking back the woman I lost that day [Pre-Chorus] I'm done apologizing for taking up room I'm done disappearing just to keep the peace with you [Chorus] I'll never make myself smaller again I'll never make myself believe what you pretend The walls are coming down, and the ship is sailing now I won't reduce myself when you are never proud anyhow [Post-Chorus] Won't make myself, oh-whoa-oh Won't make myself smaller again [Bridge] I won't shrink to fit a love that wasn't real I won't bend until I forget how to feel I'm done making myself small for your sake You can keep your pride, I'm done with this mistake [Chorus] I'll never make myself smaller again I'll never make myself believe what you pretend The walls are coming down, and the ship is sailing now I won't reduce myself when you are never proud anyhow [Post-Chorus] Won't make myself, oh-whoa-oh Won't make myself smaller again ------------------------------- Written by Chelsea Aerys.
