The little voice in the back of my head
Keeps telling me that i'm not good enough
Not strong enough

The little girl somewhere in my mind
Under the covers
Cause she's too scared of everything

To try anything

She talks all that trash

Tellin' me i should just give up
I look in the mirror, put on my mascara
And tell her to just shut up


[chorus:]
Cause life's too short

To hate yourself
To try to be someone else
So quit wasting your time

The days go by way too fast
To let anything hold you back
So don't cry anymore

Cause life's too short
To hate yourself


Every cover of every magazine
Makes you feel like you're not thin enough
Not pretty enough

You let a stupid pair of old blue jeans
That don't quite fit ruin your day
And you beat yourself up

You beat yourself up

But blue jeans ain't nothin'

But fabric and buttons
They don't mean a thing
They can't make you beautiful

Baby, you're beautiful
So throw 'em away


[chorus:]
Cause life's too short
To hate yourself

To try to be someone else
So quit wasting your time
The days go by way too fast

To let anything hold you back
So don't cry anymore
Cause life's too short

To hate yourself

God doesn't make mistakes

Just look at this beautiful day

[chorus:]

Cause life's too short
To hate yourself
To try to be someone else

So quit wasting your time
The days go by way too fast
To let anything hold you back

So don't cry anymore
Cause life's too short
To hate yourself

To hate yourself
To hate yourself
