Fading Away

Throw it up, get it out
While inside you scream and shout
Take the weight off, see your ribs
When your parents ask, just tell them fibs
Look in the mirror, disgusted with yourself
Secretly in the store put food back on the shelf
They offer you chocolate, you politely decline
You cannot indulge, that's stepping out of line
The girls at school don't call you fat anymore
They look at you with remorse as you're collapsed on the floor
Maybe it wasn't worth it, all the pain you went through
Those girls didn't realise how much those words really hurt you

Another One of Your Toys

I won't cry myself to sleep at night
You're not worth the inner fight
I talk to you and you just don't care
You can't see me dying inside; that despair
I can't believe I trusted you
I let you in, look what you put me through
I thought you were mature for your age
I thought you were different, like I'd turned a new page
Turns out I was wrong, you're just a selfish little boy
And here's stupid me, just another little toy
