Water drips off your body
As you stare in the mirror
Inspecting every inch of itYou pick out all the flaws
Flaw after flaw
You can't seem to find anything you likeYou step on the scale
A number you wish to unsee
You step off the scale
Look back at the mirrorThere stands everything you hate
There stands every flaw
Every number that not good enoughBecause you see
Nobody hates you more
Than yourselfAnd I gotta say
I really don't like myself
Never did never haveSometimes I wish
I can just change
Into completely different personBecause I'm not pretty, to underweight
People just stare at me like I'm dumb
There is something wrong with meI jus can't figure out what it is
