Bones
Reyna Biddy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I felt like if I were to lose all the acne someone would see me.
I thought that the prettier I could become the more options
I would receive years later I'm still just as lonely.
Actually I might be more alone than ever.
Someone forgot to tell me that Max Ruby Woo lipstick won't make it better that long hair, nice skin, and abs won't last forever that the men you let in are still out looking for treasure, being physically gorgeous isn't a savior & having the most beautiful smile won't save him.
I forgot to hold onto who I was on the inside, I wish it were easy for me to let people see what's on the inside.
I wish somebody would've told me I was already perfect on the outside for the person who's perfect for me.
These bones could always keep up.
These bones have been bruised, broken and cut.
These bones could never give up on me or you.
I used to wonder what it was like to be loved for me by you.

No one warned me that relying on physical attributes like makeup, hair, and abs to impress men won't last long-term and that men will continue to search for what they perceive as valuable even if they already have someone with physical beauty.

sometimes your heart will hurt. sometimes your smile will ache. sometimes your light will dim. sometimes your spirit will break. sometimes your entire world will come crashing down with no warning, and no signs.. but no matter how destroyed you feel - you have to be willing to dig deep inside of yourself to find some ambition to get you back right. you have to look out for you. you have to let go. you have to place your focus primarily on YOU. nothing about losing what's familiar feels good.. but uncomfortable places can be beautiful. growth is beautiful. you are beautiful. you shouldn't have to wait around and pray for someone to love you. you should love you. you should let go - because nothing worth holding onto will ever destroy you. and holding on is destroying you. trying to love someone into loving you - is destroying you. let go because you have to get a hold of you. you have to retrace your steps and figure out where you let YOU go. you have to take time to yourself to reflect on when and where you lost yourself. you have to let go of what no longer is - and accept what may have never been.. then you have to pick yourself back up. you have to release any negativity clouding your mind and you have to rid yourself of hopeful feelings. cleanse your soul. listen to your intuition. learn yourself. let go of any bad habits you've picked up along your journey. and start over. no matter how bad or how much it hurts.. let go and start over. holding on is destroying you.
