They asked was I hungry and I said no
But only the Lord knows I'm lying

Are you sure they said and I smiled and said yeah I will eat later  Lord knows I'm lying

Once they leave the room my smile dropped and my stomach let out growel

I am hungry but I tricked myself into believing that I don't need to eat or I will never get skinny

But it wasn't just me no there cruel words ring in my head over and over again telling me to eat less telling me I'm big and overweight telling me that I'm fat

So I will eat later is what I say but I know I'm lying
