(Verse 1)
How ‘bout that sweet face, the decades sure look good on you,
Eating disorder, don’t worry, I have been there too.
Binging and purging consumed my whole life now it consumes yours,
I am sorry to see your boat floating without any oars.
When I was younger, all I wanted to be thin,
Then I found a new thing that embraced me from within.
It’s called bulimia, went through it for years, still contemplate,
But nobody knows it happened because I’ve shut that gate.
(Chorus)
Yourself;
You’re jeopardizing your own sick health,
Never known you could end up with this disease,
I need you to just please stop from your own hell.
Yourself;
I told you that you just need help,
Do I have to yell?
Why did you even start, yes I know it is hard, but please, why, pray tell?
Save yourself.
(Verse 2)
Well maybe I’m blind, but you’re just way too kind for this, babe,
I know it’s hard to get rid of this disease but trust me I’m on your page.
I’m struggling how to tell you what to do with your life ‘cause I can’t,
It’s your life, you choose how to live, but you’re running out of sand.
(Chorus)
Yourself;
You’re jeopardizing your own sick health,
Never known you could end up with this disease,
I need you to just please stop from your own hell.
Yourself;
I told you that you just need help,
Do I have to yell?
Why did you even start, yes I know it is hard, but please, why, pray tell?
Save yourself.
(Bridge)
