Dear Body

[Verse 1] Started when I was a child Watching my mom go on a diet I thought maybe I should try it Dropped a size and lost my mind in the process Waking up afraid to change I put all my self-worth on my weight Living on compliments from strangers Self-criticizing in the mirror years later [Pre-Chorus] Toxic secrets I made you keep I starved you out when you needed to eat But now that I see it, I wanna set you free [Chorus] Dear body I just wanna say I'm sorry 'Cause I'd never do this to somebody else But it's easy to hurt myself Dear body You're taking good care of me I wish I could say the same about you After all that I put you through I'm sorry, dear body [Verse 2] Draggеd myself back to the gym When it was thеrapy I should've been in I never felt good in my skin And I still wear a t-shirt when I swim Ruined so many holidays Skipping the birthday 'cause of cake Counted every last little taste Wondering when it would up on my thighs or my face [Pre-Chorus] I know better now that I'm older But in photos I still hate my shoulders I wanna heal this, I wanna set us free [Chorus] Dear body I just wanna say I'm sorry (I'm sorry) 'Cause I'd never do this to somebody else But it's easy to hurt myself Dear body You're taking good care of me I wish I could say the same about you After all that I put you through (Through) [Bridge] I said you were too big, then you were too small Too many curves or none at all Why was I so cruel when you're me and I am you? I'm sorry, dear body (I'm sorry, dear body) (I'm sorry, dear body) (I'm sorry, dear body) [Chorus] Dear body I just wanna say I'm sorry 'Cause I'd never do this to somebody else But it's easy to hurt myself I'm sorry, dear body
