*"As promised, here is a snippet from my debut album 🤍 this is probably one of my favorites if not my favorite song I made for the record 🥺 and it will be released as the first single this fall, when we begin the journey of my first album 💿😭💝 i love you all so much and i appreciate everybody who’s been patient with me as i embrace my creative process. 🥛 here’s a little piece of my heart 🫀"*

When Whole Milk gets out Lucy posted cover of the song with caption:

*"♥︎ WHOLE MILK IS OUT 😳 ♥︎ I can’t believe you’re about to hear this song honestly…While writing this album I knew I had to write songs that reflected the lows of my journey, because I had been experiencing them in new ways that I’d never imagined. I tried to write from a place of growth and groundedness while still being able to acknowledge the true fears and thoughts about myself that I find to be negative but sometimes hard to undo without affirming myself of the truth. Whole Milk is an honest take on my self reflection and the chorus is an affirmation to remind me that I don’t need anything or anyone to determine my worth or life experience. 🥛 I could go on forever about this and I will but I just wanna say a huge thank you to my angel @nightfeelingss for co-producing this beautiful song with me and helping me turn my melodies into masterpieces 💗 and thank you to all my amazing friends and team for being so understanding and helping me get through this crazy time while supporting my art/heart wholeheartedly along the way. and to my luvies, the looney bin, my big blood mansion, thank you for being so patient🥲♥️ i love you, i hope you love your whole milk🐄✨n sorry if it makes u sad😭eee"*

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

How could I or anyone else

Love someone so sad

So down and alone

I just cry idle and die

Wishing you'd love me back

Wished for even a high

I felt empty and deceased, wishing you were loving me

And I hate myself for it

You're so important

I want to fill me up

Inner workings flourish

Three little fucked up bears eating all my porridge

I count sheep on the farm, giving all my time to them

Imagine I was lucky enough to turn myself to one of them

Then maybe I wouldn't send my mind into overdrive

And wonder why the hell am I alive

[Chorus]

I'm enough whole on my own

I don't need an ounce of milk to make my bones grow (grow)

Happiness not found alone

But it's in my bones to grow (grow)

[Verse 2]

Spot a cow not yet endowed

Ringing bells because they sing so well

I'm whole within myself but I still want somebody else

To share a glass with me

Purest formula you've ever seen

Borderline nativity I'm the trinity

My mind and heart is company

That you should come and enjoy with me (enjoy with me)

I'm the dairy queen and the dairy king

Open up the carton then you'll see

All the wholeness that's inside of me (inside of me)

[Chorus]

I'm enough whole on my own

I don't need an ounce of milk to make my bones grow (grow)

Happiness not found alone

But it's in my bones to grow (grow)

[Bridge]

I keep telling myself I'm enough

Drinking whole milk till I'm stuffed

Overflowing in all my love, my love

But sometimes it's hard to trust

My own word over yours

So I chug and I chug all the jugs till I'm gone

Stare into myself and notice tons of wealth and full infinity

Am I just a pretty doll?

Withdraw whatever they want from me

What about myself?

What do I want?

I just wanna feel warm and not so sour

[Chorus]

I'm enough whole on my own

I don't need an ounce of milk to make my bones grow (grow)

Happiness not found alone

But it's in my bones to grow (grow)

## Theme

The song talks about how the protagonist loves someone who is sad and alone, but they wish that person loved them back. They compare themselves to sheep and wish they could just be one of them. However, they also recognize that they are whole on their own and don't need someone else to complete them. They struggle with trusting themselves over others, but ultimately know that happiness is within themselves.
