You Might Not Like Her - Maddie Zahm

If you would've told me I'd throw away my purity ring
In the middle of an airport
My younger self would laugh, would never believe that
It's against everything that we stood for
She'd hate that I smoked weed and cussed frequently
And she'd try to convert everyone I called bestie
You'll throw shots in the dark then blackout at a bar
There'll be good then there'll be bad parts

Someday you'll kiss a girl and you'll panic
Some guy'll break your heart and you'll feel manic
Then you'll learn to let people have their opinions
And talk about your traumas and like the body you live in
Someday you'll learn to keep your own secrets
Say you're doing okay and really mean it
You'll lose your faith a bit and question if she is you
For a while, you might not like her, but I do

Somedays feel like whiplash, one-eighties and you'll hate that
You'll label yourself just to take it back
Convinced you're not bi 'cause you're way too into guys
And the first time you have sex, you'll cry
You'll sometimes skip meals and numb how you feel
And you'll miss the old you, but here is the deal
That good girl you were was really f_cking bad at being
Real

Someday you'll kiss a girl and you'll panic
Some guy'll break your heart and you'll feel manic
Then you'll learn to let people have their opinions
And talk about your traumas and like the body you live in
Someday you'll learn to keep your own secrets
Say you're doing okay and really mean it
You'll lose your faith a bit and question if she is you
For a while, you might not like her, but I do

You might not like her, you might not like her
You might not like her, you might not like her

Someday you'll think you disappoint your parents
But they'll love you not despite but regardless
And you'll learn to let people have sh_tty opinions
And talk about your traumas and like the body you live in
Someday you'll learn to keep your own secrets
Say you're doing okay and really mean it
You'll lose your faith a bit and question if she is you
And for a while, you might not like her, but I do
