Thursday

Glynne Jess

I won’t wear make-up on Thursday
I’m sick of covering up
I’m tired of feeling so broken
I’m tired of falling in love

Sometimes I’m shy and I’m anxious
Sometimes I’m down on my knees
Sometimes I try to embrace my insecurities
So I won’t wear make-up on Thursday
Cos who I am is enough

And there are many things that I can change so slightly
But why would I succumb to something so unlike me
I was always taught to just be myself
Don’t change for anyone

I wanna laugh, I wanna cry
Don’t want these tears inside my eyes, yeah
Don’t want to wake up and feel insecure
I wanna sing, I wanna dance
I wanna feel love inside my hands again
I just want to feel beautiful
Oh oh oh oh-I, oh oh oh oh-I, oh oh oh
I just want to feel beautiful

I wear my sweat pants on Thursday
And I’ll drink sloe gin from a can
I’ll build my own independence
I don’t always need a man

You know sometimes I feel lonely
Could do with the company
Oh I get high when I’m down
But you know that’s alright with me
So I will do nothing on Thursday
Sit alone and be

And there are many things that I can change so slightly
But why would I succumb to something so unlike me
I was always taught to just be myself
Don’t change for anyone

I wanna laugh, I wanna cry
Don’t want these tears inside my eyes, yeah
Don’t want to wake up and feel insecure
I wanna sing, I wanna dance
I wanna feel love inside my hands again
I just want to feel beautiful
Oh oh oh oh-I, oh oh oh oh-I, oh oh oh
I just want to feel beautiful
Oh oh oh oh-I, oh oh oh oh-I, oh oh oh
I just want to feel beautiful

I won’t wear make-up on Thursday
Cos who I am is enough

I wanna laugh, I wanna, cry
Don’t want these tears inside my eyes, yeah
Don’t want to wake up and feel insecure
I wanna sing, I wanna dance
I wanna feel love inside my hands again
I just want to feel beautiful
Oh oh oh oh-I, oh oh oh oh-I, oh oh oh
I just want to feel beautiful
Oh oh oh oh-I, oh oh oh oh-I, oh oh oh
I just want to feel beautiful
