I'm not depressed,
I'm just a little stressed.
I'm not anorexic,
I'm just feeling sick.
The knife just slipped.
I'm sorry for the meal I skipped.
I wish I could go out and play.
Of course I ate breakfast today.
I love myself the way I am.
I just don't like meals with ham.
I would never hurt my skin.
It's unhealthy, I try not to be so thin.
Oh, I'm fine. I have great self-esteem!
I burned it by accident, it'll be fine with some cream.
All those girls believing they're fat,
I would never, ever, think like that.
I know you love me,
But you just don't see.
All these things I tell to you,
I'm sorry, but they're just not true.
