Song lyrics

You should take it as a compliment,
If I were you, I would be more confident,
You're lucky that you're pretty,
Why are you obsessed with your appearance?
I don't wanna hear it, you're fine.

It's been my best kept secret for a while now,
No one ever sees it but it's all around,
Its the dinner conversation no one talks about,
Don't know how much longer I can keep this down.

Beauty is a knife, I've been holding by the blade,
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything,
It's all a lie,
Honestly it's eating me alive.
They're all like, 'did you change your hair?
Did you lose a bit of weight?
You should keep it up cause it really looks great!'
I hate that I
Always look my best
When I'm dying on the inside,
When I'm dying on the inside.

I wish I could break the mirror
That makes me feel like I should fucking disappear
And drown my demons in a bathtub filled with tears,
No matter what I try, they always seem to come back to life.

What if I didn't do this to my body?
What if I quit and then you don't want me?
The dinner conversation no one talks about,
Don't know how much longer I can keep this down.

Beauty is a knife, I've been holding by the blade,
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything,
It's all a lie,
Honestly it's eating me alive.
They're all like, 'did you change your hair?
Did you lose a bit of weight?
You should keep it up cause it really looks great!'
I hate that I
Always look my best
When I'm dying on the inside,
When I'm dying on the inside,
When I'm dying on the inside.

You should take it as a compliment,
If I were you, I'd me more confident,
You're lucky your pretty,
Why are you obsessed
With your appearance?
I don't wanna hear it, You're fine.

Beauty is a knife, I've been holding by the blade,
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything,
It's all a lie,
Honestly it's eating me alive.
They're all like, 'did you change your hair?
Did you lose a bit of weight?
You should keep it up cause it really looks great!'
I hate that I
Always look my best
When I'm dying on the inside,
When I'm dying on the inside.
