I know you see I never smile
I know you think I'm shy and sad
But if you really knew me you'd know why
I'm the girl who cries all night
I'm the girl who looks in the mirror and cringes at her own sight
I'm the girl who hates herself when she eats
I'm the girl who never sleeps
If you take a step back and really see
I'm the girl I hope you'll never be
