I feel a weight that's heavier these days
No I am not quite hurting
But I think that I'm in pain
I look at photographs of myself
And they insist there's nothing wrong
But if there isn't
Why am I writing this song
I was told to love my body
'Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get
No it's not what people see
It is the mind inside of me that weighs me down
So each day I'll try
To do it better
The world has a mountain of its problems
And your worries start to feel very small
But there's a kid locked in the toilet
All racked with guilt
Don't tell me that doesn't matter to you at all
I was told to love my body
'Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get
No it's not what people see
It is the soul inside of me that keeps me whole
So each day I'll try
To do it better
I'm so afraid to talk about it
Others might not understand
The way I don't know how it's like
To be
Somebody else
Oh Lord, I pray
That they won't take me in my sleep
Oh don't we all
Have our demons
Running deep
I saw a blind man on the streets the other day
I swear, oh how I wished I could have rescued him away
And with my eyes, oh I was crying
Down on my knees
And everything has changed for me
I was told to love my body
'Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get
No it's not what people see
It is the heart inside of me that makes a man
So each day I'll try
I was told to love my body
Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get
Oh I have everything I need
From a sound mind, to working feet
They make me whole
So each day I'll try
To do it better
To do it better
To do it better
