Lyrics

She wasn't born anorexic, but nowadays she suffers
Staring at these half-naked stars on magazine covers
Feeling pressured by the public
She only weighs 90 pounds but still sucks in her stomach
On the inside she's dying, lying to herself, thinking:
- 5 more pounds won't jeopardize my health
One day she might just collapse, she can't avoid it
Too many sleepless nights spent bent over a toilet
Spewing vomit, like she was an alcoholic
Praying to a god she never believed in to stop it
Hasn't eaten in weeks, drinks water by the heaps
Now she looks like the skeleton she sees in her closet
So close to death she can taste it, body looks wasted
Hates life, hates you, hates the way she looks naked
Now she's feeling drowsy, lousy
Thinking maybe this world's better off without me

I'm so sorry for all that I've done
I'm so sorry for what I've become
I'm so sorry, so sorry for wasting your time
I can't hold you back 'cuz I'm losing my mind
I'm so sorry for all that I've done
I'm so sorry for what I've become
I'm so sorry, so sorry for wasting your time
I can't hold you back 'cuz I'm losing my mind

She staring at her belly, she's so scared to touch it
Imagining the feeling when it kicks inside her stomach
Too late for safe sex, should have used a latex
She can't afford a baby on minimum wage paychecks
Her waistline climbs by inches
'Cuz she traded in the morning workouts for morning sickness
Feeling nauseous, sleeps on her back because she's cautious
Give life or take life, that's her only options
Only if she had a magic wand, she'd go back to that night
And put her clothes back on
But she can't change time, or what's growing inside
How could she love something that's barely alive?
Her body's acheing, shaking, from sweaty palms, and cold sweat
Mentally exhausting like phone sex
No regrets, life or death, it's high stakes
'Cuz right or wrong, it's only her choice to make

I'm so sorry for all that I've done
I'm so sorry for what I've become.I'm so sorry, so sorry for wasting your time
I can't hold you back 'cuz I'm losing my mind
I'm so sorry for all that I've done
I'm so sorry for what I've become
I'm so sorry, so sorry for wasting your time
I can't hold you back 'cuz I'm losing my mind

[Side]
- where are you!
[Girl:] you smell like perfume. that's not mine
[Guy:] your head's going fucking crazy, your head is going crazy
You need to sit down and look in the mirror and look after yourself
[Girl:] why? why? what's so wrong with me that you can't love me?
[Guy:] look-
[Girl:] what is wrong with me? I do everything for you
I, i, I make myself look good, I go to the gym
I, I eat like a fucking rabbit
I don't, I don't know what else to do
Tell me
[Guy:] baby, you don't understand because-
[Girl:] what it is I have to do to make you love me

I'm so sorry for all that I've done
I'm so sorry for what I've become
I'm so sorry, so sorry for wasting your time
I can't hold you back 'cuz I'm losing my mind
I'm so sorry for all that I've done
I'm so sorry for what I've become
I'm so sorry, so sorry for wasting your time
I can't hold you back 'cuz I'm losing my mind
I'm so sorry for all that I've done
I'm so sorry for what I've become
I'm so sorry, so sorry for wasting your time
I can't hold you back 'cuz I'm losing my mind
