Dress-Up
i like to pretend im okay
like when i was little
this used to be fun
all this make-up and fabric
like when i was little
i was so okay with myself
all this make-up and fabric
now hiding who i truly am
i was so okay with myself
naked or draped in fabric i feel so vulnerable
now hiding who i truly am
no one is to blame but me
naked or draped in fabric i feel so vulnerable
no mom, im not hungry
no one is to blame but me
what happened to the pretty princess in the mirror?
no mom, im not hungry
i didn’t think i deserved food
what happened to the pretty princess in the mirror?
the sparks in her eyes are gone
i didn’t think i deserved it
not until i was skinny
the sparks in her eyes are gone
i like to pretend im calm
