When she wakes up, she runs to the mirror
All that she thinks is "I wish I was thinner"
As she tugs at her skin
As she stands there, she brushes her hair
It's all falling out, but she doesn't care
'Cause that doesn't matter
No, nothin' else matters
When is she gonna see herself just like everybody else does?
They tell her that she's beautiful but she thinks they're all lying 'cause
How can they see what she doesn't believe?
So she pops back another pill
And she skips another meal
And she says she never will do this again
But then she pops back another pill
And she skips another meal
And every time she does, she says she's gonna stop
But she can't 'cause she's never good enough
He says he loves her, she says, "I know
But, babe, I'm so sorry, I've gotta let you go (mm)
'Cause it's not to fair to love someone else
When I can't even stand myself", mm
And he says, "If you don't love yourself, well
Babe, you've gotta try to
If you could see yourself the way that I do"
And she knows it's all in her head, but instead
She just pops back another pill
And she skips another meal
And she says she never will do this again
But then she pops back another pill
And she skips another meal
And every time she does, she says she's gonna stop
But she can't 'cause she's never good enough
So I pop back another pill
And I skip another meal
And every time I do, I swear I'm gonna stop
But I can't 'cause I'm never good enough
