Lyrics
don't think i can live this way
I wake up hating my body
scared that there's nothing that'll make it better
if I'm not happy and skinny
quiet and pretty do I even matter
hate being hungry when I go to sleep
biting my tongue so much it's gonna bleed
I'm killing myself but I
don't think it's helping at all trying to be small
