SKINNY Lyrics

[00:07.68] Hm (I never did you wrong)
[00:10.89] Hm (and my, my patience is gone)
[00:15.64] Fell in love for the first time
[00:19.20] With a friend, it's a good sign
[00:22.71] Feelin' off when I feel fine
[00:26.20] 21 took a lifetime
[00:29.72] People say I look happy
[00:33.22] Just because I got skinny
[00:36.61] But the old me is still me and maybe the real me
[00:40.64] And I think she's pretty
[00:47.85] And I still cry
[00:56.61] Cry
[01:06.63] And you know why
[01:12.33] Am I acting my age now?
[01:15.75] Am I already on the way out?
[01:19.53] When I step off the stage, I'm a bird in a cage
[01:23.27] I'm a dog in a dog pound
[01:26.40] And you said I was your secret
[01:29.99] And you didn't get to keep it
[01:33.36] And the internet is hungry for the meanest kind of funny
[01:37.19] And somebody's gotta feed it
[01:41.99] Oh, do you still cry?
[01:52.45] Still cry
[02:00.25] I cry
[02:06.75] I never did you wrong (never did you wrong)
[02:13.54] And my (oh), my patience is gone (is gone)
[02:20.85] And I (I), I never did you wrong (you wrong)
[02:28.09] I loved you for so long, hm
[02:38.34]
