I Don’t Like Myself is Track 5 on GIRLI’s EP of 2021, Damsel In Distress.
This is another song written by GIRLI comforting everybody who is insecure about their bodies, promising sometimes even the prettiest ones are insecure; in this song, GIRLI talks about judging herself way too much.
[Verse 1]
I've been looking myself up and down checking all my flaws out
I been saying shit to the mirror that isn't nice for quite a while now
Hate myself it's a full-time job, I want some time off
24/7 brain is open and you know she never shuts up
Shuts up in the club
Looking at the other girls with their bigger butts
Ugly crying in the car, like what the fuck?
Why am I not smart like Rosa Parks or fit like Kate Moss?
[Pre-Chorus]
I get, I can't please everyone I see
But it would be nice
If one day I could just please me
I would never evеr judge anyone elsе
Not in the way that I judge myself
I made a prison now I'm stuck in this cell
Maybe I could use some help
[Chorus]
And I wish that I-I-I-I could see myself
From o-o-other eyes
They would tell me, "Girl, you're fine"
So stop messing up your life
[Post-Chorus]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
I just wanna like myself
[Verse 2]
I've been giving myself bad reviews for a couple decades
Analysing random shit about my body, feet, right up to my face
Someone else is always better, hotter, ready to take your place
24/7 phone is open and you know she never shuts up (She never shuts up)
Shuts up on TikTok
Looking at the famous girls with their followers
Ugly crying in my bed, like what the fuck?
Why do I rate myself a two when I'm five star?
[Pre-Chorus]
I get, I can't please everyone I see
But it would be nice
If one day I could just please me
I would never ever judge anyone else
Not in the way that I judge myself
I made a prison now I'm stuck in this cell
Maybe I could use some help
[Chorus]
And I wish that I-I-I-I could see myself
From o-o-other eyes
They would tell me, "Girl, you're fine"
So stop messing up your life
[Post-Chorus]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da (I wish that I)
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da (Could see myself from different eyes, they would tell me, "Girl, you're fine", yeah)
I just wanna like myself

When I wrote this song, I remember not really liking it. I wrote it and thought it’s, whatever. Then I listened to it a few weeks after and was like, ‘This is sick.’ I felt really proud of the lyrics because I’ve never been able to fully capture that feeling of social media making me hate myself. I...
