she's trying

(I can't even believe I'm publishing this song because it's one of the most personal songs I've ever written. I just want to say that you don't have to worry about me, I promise I'm fine)

she hasn't eaten breakfast in so long
even though she knows it's wrong
she hates eating in front of other people
because she knows they can be evil

she can be nice but she can't be pretty
the boys don't look at her in the city
she remembers everything they ever said about her weight
for an apology, since you already said it, it's a little late

she tried every diet, exercised every night
telling herself that it will be alright
but this kind of life feels like slowly dying
she just want someone to notice that she's trying

all her skinny friends say they are fat
and she feels even worse after that
crying under her bed sheets, doesn't want her parents to notice
but she doesn't know how much longer she can do this

she tried every diet, exercised every night
telling herself that it will be alright
but this kind of life feels like slowly dying
Can anyone please notice that she's trying?

Did you have to make that comment?
You were supposed to be her friend
now she doesn't appreciate herself anymore
it is something that is hard to ignore
She didn't choose to just hate her body, you taught her to
you can't even imagine what she went through

but this kind of life feels like slowly dying
I swear she's trying
