i cry myself to sleep

each and every night

wanting to be happy

i grab a bin

knowing happiness

only comes from being thin

at least that's what

my ana friends have told me

i need to do this

for you and for me

i want you to see

soomeone beautiful when you look at me

you tell me i am

and constantly tease

your always there if i ever need to cry

i know i have friends who do this

but they know my little secret

you don't know it

and i'm afraid one day you will

and if you find out

you'll hate me forever

but everyone says

your too good for that

i'm afraid to get hurt

but i love you so much

i can't help but stare

everytime i see you

people tell me

you feel the same way

but do i make you smile everytime i come to mind

see this is why i must be beautiful

someone you can carry

up the stairs

like a fairy tale

this must be done

so let me grab that bin

let me be thin
