Thursday
Jess Glynne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't wear makeup on Thursday
I'm sick of covering up
I'm tired of feeling so broken
I'm tired of falling in love
Sometimes I'm shy and I'm anxious
Sometimes I'm down on my knees
Sometimes I try to embrace all my insecurities
So I won't wear makeup on Thursday
'Cause who I am is enough

And there are many things that I could change so slightly
But why would I succumb to something so unlike me?
I was always taught to just be myself
Don't change for anyone

I wanna laugh, I don't wanna cry
Don't want these tears inside my eyes, yeah
Don't wanna wake up and feel insecure
I wanna sing, I wanna dance
I wanna feel love inside my hands again
I just wanna feel beautiful

Oh-oh-oh, oh I
Oh-oh-oh, oh I
Oh-oh-oh, I just wanna feel beautiful

I'll wear my sweatpants on Thursday
And I'll drink sloe gin from a can
I'll build my own independence
I don't always need a man
You know sometimes I feel lonely
Could do with the company
Oh, I get high when I'm down
But you know that's alright with me
So I will do nothing on Thursday
Sit alone and be

And there are many things that I could change so slightly
But why would I succumb to something so unlike me?
I was always taught to just be myself
Don't change for anyone

I wanna laugh, I don't wanna cry
Don't want these tears inside my eyes, yeah
Don't wanna wake up and feel insecure
I wanna sing, I wanna dance
I wanna feel love inside my hands again
I just wanna feel beautiful

Oh-oh-oh, oh I
Oh-oh-oh, oh I
Oh-oh-oh, I just wanna feel beautiful
Oh-oh-oh, oh I
Oh-oh-oh, oh I
Oh-oh-oh, I just wanna feel beautiful

I won't wear makeup on Thursday
'Cause who I am is enough

I wanna laugh, I don't wanna cry
Don't want these tears inside my eyes, yeah
Don't wanna wake up and feel insecure
I wanna sing, I wanna dance
I wanna feel love inside my hands again
I just wanna feel beautiful

Oh-oh-oh, oh I
Oh-oh-oh, oh I
Oh-oh-oh, I just wanna feel beautiful
Oh-oh-oh, oh I




Oh-oh-oh, oh I
Oh-oh-oh, I just wanna feel beautiful

ever since the start of year 8 i’ve worn makeup. i started feeling like it was a waste of time because everyday when i got home, most of it was wiped off. i felt super insecure. last week i finally had enough. even tho my skin was still terrible i went a whole week without makeup. to school. i know some people might think nothing of it but for me it was a huge step. the reason i did it was because of jess. i listened to this song on monday and from tuesday to friday, i didn’t wear makeup. no one seemed to even noticed. one guy was rude but he’s always rude to me for no reason so i tried to not let it get to me. i just felt more confident i guess.

please don’t listen to society, be yourself, wear what you want. don’t worry xox

Congratulations. We are all proud of you.

@lizzyh7417

Congratulations 😊😊💯💖

@daschwarz1649

Thank you for writing. Sometimes as we get older we gain the wisdom to love ourselves as we are. Looks like you are on your way there already. Too me till I was in my late 40s to realize that makeup was a mask that I no longer needed. Fun for special occasions but no longer something to hide behind .
