Lyrics

Wish I’d never started wearing a life that wasn’t mine
Trying to meet the expectations I disappeared behind
Puttin’ all the pretty on to cover what was never wrong
Till I didn’t even recognize the stranger I’d become

So I’m gonna be unbecoming for awhile
Keep what I want, throw what I don’t in the didn’t-fit-me pile
Start unwrapping, unstitching, learning how to unpretend
Believing beauty lies in stripping back to who I really am
Truth is I’ll feel better when I’m done...unbecoming

I don't wanna be the star of someone else's dream
A puppet ballerina dancing when they pull the strings
Always crying in the shower, always posing for the crowd
I guess there’s a lot about me I gotta figure out

So I’m gonna be unbecoming for awhile
Keep what I want and throw what I don’t in the didn’t-fit-me pile
Start unwrapping, unstitching, learning how to unpretend
Believing beauty lies in stripping back to who I really am
Truth is I’ll feel better when I’m done...unbecoming
