dying on the inside Lyrics by Nessa Barrett
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
It’s 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 harmed 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 little 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 harmed 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 little 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 would be more confident
You’re lucky you’re pretty, why are you obsessed
With your appearance?
I don’t wanna hear it
You’re fine
Beauty is a knife, I’ve been harmed 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 little 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
