Do you see?


I'm trying I'm trying I swear that I am But my life is in pieces I don't give a damn Yes I know it's unhealthy Yes I know I could die I'm told that I'm pretty But that last one's a lie It's easier to starve It's easier to hurt It's easier to cry Than to do the work It's work to recover It's not easy you see I'd rather be ED Than to just be me
