[Verse 1]
I could go to the doctor and get needles in my face
So whenever I smile, my forehead stays in place
I could eat a liquid diet so my bones start to pop
Spend all my money bein' someone I'm not
I could risk the melanoma so I glow in the dark
Do the kinda shit you can't quit once you start
I could bleach all the brown right out of my hair
Buyin' clothes the internet told me to wear
[Chorus]
I tried, I tried to hate me
I tried, I tried, but then it got old
I think, I think I like me
I think, I think I'm finally sold
Maybe, maybe I'm lazy
Or maybe deep down I'm kinda scared
To change what my mama gave me
I can't, can't make myself care
[Verse 2]
I could sleep all eight hours like they say that I should
Read all the books on how to feel good
I could sit on the floor, close my eyes, meditate
On all of the ways that they say to be great
I could sell all my stuff, namaste in the wild
Find me a shrink to find my inner child
I could burn all the baggage from how I was raised
As if how I turned out's not okay
[Chorus]
I tried, I tried to hate me
I tried, I tried, but then it got old
I think, I think I like me
I think, I think I'm finally sold
Maybe, maybe I'm lazy
Or maybe deep down I'm kinda scared
To change what my mama gave me
I can't, can't make myself care
[Outro]
I can't make, I can't make myself care (Oh)
I can't make, I can't make myself care
I think, I think I like me
