about

This song was written about my experience as a woman in the world. I have so many stories where ‘numbers’ have been projected on me.. waist size, weight, age.. & honestly after awhile, I started to believe that’s where my value - or lack there of - came from.

This song was a way to remind myself that my ‘worth’ is defined by way more than these numbers. This song is for me and anyone else that needs to hear it, you’re more than just a number <3

lyrics

36 - 24 - 36
Perfect figure
it’s unrealistic
An hourglass
it’s ticking time bomb
Making myself sick
to look like a Barbie doll

Too thick, too thin
To fit, in to
Those clothes, your mold
One size don’t fit all

More than my push up
waist band, little extra skin
More than the fine lines, grey hair
or the years I’ve lived
If you took the time to know me
I’m more than what you see
The weight can pull you under
I’m more than just a number

27 - 28 - 29
Should be married
with babies on my mind
Buy the house
buy the dog, buy the car
Adding up
and all over by 34

Too young, too old
Whatever side you’re sitting on
So don’t count
Just stand out
One size, don’t fit all

More than my push up
waist band, little extra skin
More than the fine lines, grey hair
or the years I’ve lived
If you took the time to know me
I’m more than what you see
The weight can pull you under
I’m more than just a number

Forget about the standards
they can’t measure what I’m worth

More than my push up
waist band, little extra skin
More than the fine lines, grey hair
or the years I’ve lived
If you took the time to know me
I’m more than what you see
The weight can pull you under
I’m more than just a number
