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 fallin' 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 lyin' '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 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 only 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
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
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
