Her friends mock the clothes she picks
She goes home to stick her fingers in her throat
Manic eyes.. She's screams.. And holds on that note.

One month on and she looks in the mirror
Her one priority is to be thinner and thinner
Her cheeks drained of colour, her expression lifeless
Everyone around her can see shes a mess.

Two months on and she looks in the mirror
Her apparent priority here is to be fatter and fatter
She sits on the bed and the nurse comes in
Patronising her with her fake lipsticked grin.

Three weeks on and she looks at the light
They say she wasn't eating enough, and her body couldn't fight
She listens to her mothers sobbing words as she passes away
"Goodbye my sweet darling, I would of loved for you to stay.."

The media tells her to be size six

She goes home to stick her fingers in her throat
Manic eyes.. She's screams.. And holds on that note.

Her cheeks drained of colour, her expression lifeless
Everyone around her can see shes a mess.

They say she wasn't eating enough, and her body couldn't fight
She listens to her mothers sobbing words as she passes away
"Goodbye my sweet darling, I would of loved for you to stay.."
