lyrics

I wasn’t built like the Romans
My contraposto’s off by a little bit
I watch you size me up in your kitchen
As I shift into a space I don’t fit in
And fidget with my sleeves until they’re stretched over my hands

And confidence has never been my strongest trait
And being around you doesn’t help
I wanna be your lover but I pull away

I wasn’t built like the Romans
I pride myself on all my subtle strength
My armor’s loose, a home for your switchblade

And confidence has never been my strongest trait
And being around you doesn’t help
I wanna be your lover but I pull away
Can’t give you the best version of myself

And confidence has never been my strongest trait
The weakest link in the stadium
I wanna be your lover but I pull away

I wasn’t built like the Romans
