I don't care if it hurts
I want to feel in control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
~~~~~
When you feel like giving up
on recovery
Remember why
You've held on for so long~~~~~
All that's left will be your bones
No flesh no warmth nothing to love
And still, all those dreaded souls will say
"Just not thin enough"
~~~~~
And her grades dropped
From a ninety-eight to a ninety-twoAnd she stopped eating
From three helpings to just oneAnd stopped sleeping
From ten hours to only sixAnd these changes were subtle
But still, they were thereAnd she slowly fell apart
Piece by tiny pieceAnd her grades plummeted
She's failing nowAnd she stopped eating
She hasn't had a biteAnd she stopped sleeping
She was lucky to get an hourAnd these changes seemed sudden
But they were there all alongAnd she fell apart a while ago
And no one could put here back together~~~~~
It is cold so cold
Walking over to the scale
But it's worth it
When you stand
Seeing the number dropping
Yet again it is a sense of pride
And even relief until
You see your reflection in the mirror
Haunting you on the way back to bed
And you quietly decide
That it is not yet enough
Numbers that have dropped
How I wish I could tell you
That from now on
It will never
Be enough
