They say a girl should do her makeup

Like it’s basic manners just to leave the door

I saved up money for the brushes

All the little colors I was never taught before

Every morning I’m there blending

Trying to look “natural” but better than my face

On a date I change it slightly

Different shades and shimmer, just in case

With my girlfriends at a dinner

We all show up like it’s a runway night

Smiling like it’s accidental

But we all hope we’re the cutest in the light

There’s so much you don’t have to fix

I know there’s not that much that you can do

But when I’m tired from holding up this world

All I really want to hear from you

Is “You look so pretty tonight”

Or “Are you okay?” when I hold my pain inside

Just a little word, just a little sign

Can turn a heavy day into a lighter night

Once a month my body’s aching

Stomach twisting, pounding in my head

I know you can’t take it from me

I just want “Are you alright?” instead

Before it comes I get so restless

Pick a fight for reasons I can’t name

I want you to say you’re sorry

Even if you’re not the one to blame

Later on I think about it

Realize it was the hormones in my way

Then of course I tell you “sorry”

I don’t want us throwing any days away

There’s so much you don’t have to fix

I know there’s not that much that you can do

But when my moods are spinning out of control

All I really want to hear from you

Is “You can rest, I’ve got this”

Or “Are you okay?” when I try to act just fine

Just a gentle word, just a softer tone

Can turn a lonely fight into a safer night

One day if we choose a baby

It is my body that will carry all that weight

I’ll be sick and I’ll be fragile

And I might have to step away and wait

So don’t say “I want kids” so lightly

Like it’s just a picture in a frame

If I go through tears and labor

It’s because it’s you who give that child a name

There’s so much you don’t have to fix

I know there’s not that much that you can do

But if I say I want your child someday

It’s ‘cause I trust my life inside of you

Tell me “You look beautiful today”

Hold me when I’m breaking in my head

Just a little care, just a little truth

Means more than any perfect words you’ve said

Being a girl is heavy sometimes

But it feels a little lighter by your side

I don’t need a hero to save me

Just someone who will ask if I’m alright
