Nelly Joy - Mean Girl
Copied!edit Lyrics
★ Verse 1 ★
Wake up in the morning
Leave the faucet running
Why does it hurt to open my eyes?
These thoughts turn to bullets
From the inside I get it
Rumors are spreading 'round in my mind
★ Pre-Chorus ★
You're not good enough, you're not pretty
Those lips are way too skinny
Honestly, you're scary when you take your make up off
★ Chorus ★
If only I could talk a little nicer to myself
Put all those made up fake lies up on a shelf
I'd quit circling the drain
Calling myself bad names
Throwing punches in the mirror with tunnеl vision aim
I'm pretty nice to evеryone else in this world
But when it comes to me I'm just a mean girl
★ Verse 2 ★
I'm the first to help a stranger
I'm a lover, not a hater
I'm the one to pick others up off the ground
Yeah, I would never say this shit to any of my friends
And it sounds messed up coming out of my mouth right now
★ Pre-Chorus ★
You're not strong and you're not sexy
Uncomfortable in your body
Girl, you're way too messed up to ever be enough
★ Chorus ★
If only I could talk a little nicer to myself
Put all those made up fake lies up on a shelf
I'd quit circling the drain
Calling myself bad names
Throwing punches in the mirror with tunnel vision aim
I'm pretty nice to everyone else in this world
But when it comes to me I'm just a mean girl
Mean girl
★ Bridge ★
Why the hell is it so normal
To be this damn hurtful?
I owe a couple hundred sorrys
To my broken heart
★ Chorus ★
What if we all talk a little nicer to ourselves
Put all those made up fake lies up on a shelf
Yeah, we'd quit circling the drain
Calling ourselves bad names
Hell, we'd smile in the mirror every time we see our face
It would be nice to wake up in that world
Where we didn't choose to be mean girl
Mm
Oh, you don't gotta be mean, girl
Oh
Please don't be a mean girl
Wake up in the morning
Leave the faucet running
Why does it hurt to open my eyes?
These thoughts turn to bullets
From the inside I get it
Rumors are spreading 'round in my mind
★ Pre-Chorus ★
You're not good enough, you're not pretty
Those lips are way too skinny
Honestly, you're scary when you take your make up off
★ Chorus ★
If only I could talk a little nicer to myself
Put all those made up fake lies up on a shelf
I'd quit circling the drain
Calling myself bad names
Throwing punches in the mirror with tunnеl vision aim
I'm pretty nice to evеryone else in this world
But when it comes to me I'm just a mean girl
★ Verse 2 ★

Song Description:
edit soundcloudThe song "Mean Girl" by Nelly Joy delves into the inner turmoil and self-criticism that many people struggle with on a daily basis. The lyrics describe the harsh thoughts and negative self-talk that can plague one's mind, leading to feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness. The protagonist acknowledges the contrast between how kind and supportive she is to others, yet how cruel and unforgiving she can be to herself. The chorus reflects a desire to break free from this destructive cycle of self-doubt and self-loathing, advocating for kindness and compassion towards oneself. The bridge highlights the damaging impact of negative self-talk and the importance of apologizing to oneself for the hurtful words and beliefs.
