She was such a pretty girl but then her life grew shorter
She looked in the mirror couldn’t stand what stood before her
Shoved her finger down her throat puked what she ate before
Another teenage girl with an eating disorder
Chorus:
Purge out your misery into a porcelain bowl
Shut your mouth out from the food
Till your body takes its toll
Gets home from school locks herself with the bathroom door
Tired of getting made fun of for the way she looked before
She can’t take it anymore she just feels all alone
She pukes after every meal her skin turns to bone
Chorus
She knows she needs help
She knows there’s something wrong
She eats herself to sleep then wakes to throw it all up
She just sits back
And lets it take its course
Till this becomes her life and it just gets worse
90 pounds and you still think you look overweight
Choking and gagging on the food you overate
You just want to look like the people on TV
When your life is drowned in a pool of calories
This isn’t something sane
You don’t have a clue
You look like a skeleton
What are you going to do
Disease has taken your whole fucking life
Gotta back down
Gonna puke until you die
