about

I know it's nearly impossible but try to ignore Pug Gandalf because this song is actually about a serious issue. I just couldn't resist.

I wrote this song for a friend of mine who was struggling with an eating disorder. I based the lyrics on the conversations we had about what it was like and I thought maybe this song would help her. She said it did, and I hope it helps anyone else struggling with a similar mental illness.

lyrics

Say I'm too thin
Say anything
Say, have you heard about this girl you used to know?
Well, last night her demons caught up to her
She knew her part
She let them start
They tore her heart out and stripped her of all her pride
Crushed her jaw and threw her to the ground

Don't look
I'm busy being what you wanted
Am I beautiful yet?
Why can't
I ever seem to make you smile?
Am I beautiful yet?
Am I beautiful?

I'm just a joke
I start to choke
It never fills me but I force it down my throat
Maybe then you'll open up your arms
And let me in
I never win
I make myself sick and you just sit there and grin
And tell me how much harder I could try

Don't look
I'm busy being what you wanted
Am I beautiful yet?
Why can't
I ever seem to make you smile?
Am I beautiful yet?
Am I beautiful?
