Up close and personal - sad, brown eyes
A bump in her nose that make up won't disguise
She examines her body as she straightens her hair
"God, why me? It just isn't fair.
I've barely eaten for two weeks, and I have nothing to show for?
Something's not right, God, I look the same as before."
But all that starving has taken its toll
Not to mention, the purging is out of control
Pale, white skin and she's sick to her stomach
Her face gets soaked as her confidence plummets
To her, that number on the bathroom scale
refers to the number of people she's failed
Barely five foot, carrying 130 lbs of weight
Looking in the mirror is exactly what she hates
She dreams of the day when she'll see herself and say,
"Maybe I'm not perfect, but I kinda like it that way."
Under her size four jeans, she wears wounds and slashes
With just one glance at the mirror, her whole world crashes
Her eyes leak out emotions and fears
Still no one knows after all these years
They're so convinced by what's on the outside
Yeah, you'd be suprised what a smile can hide
