The girl they want to be

I’m the friend who’s funny

I’m the friend who tells good jokes

I’m the friend who’s skinny

I’m the friend who has to choke

Choke down the food

So I can bring up the mood

And say I’m okay

Cause I can’t complain

And my feelings don’t matter anyway

I try and I try but I can’t seem to eat enough

They say it takes time but gaining weight’s really tough

I have my flaws you just can’t tell

They’re inside my body just hidden real well

People tell me I’m lucky because I’m so thin

But I don’t feel comfy in my own skin

They tell me to eat more

Get some meat on these bones

Burgers and hotdogs, Fries and ice cream cones

I eat till my stomach is aching

Which is what they don’t see

They all want to be the skinny girl

But they wouldn’t want to be me

I try and I try but I can’t seem to eat enough

They say it takes time but gaining weight’s really tough

I have my flaws you just can’t tell

They’re inside my body just hidden real well

If only they could see

I’m not the girl they want to be
