[Verse 1]

I've got a DM sitting in my inbox from a teenage girl:

"I don't know if you'll ever even read this, but how in the world

Did you get better? I wanna get better too

You seem so confident, I wish I was like you"

[Verse 2]

And I don't know what to tell her, I'm not an expert

I don't have a cookie cutter answer, all I know for sure

Is one day it hit me: Hating myself

Was probably gonna kill me, and I chose my health

[Verse 3]

It's been a long, long battle and a tough five years

It took a lot to dismantle and an endless amount of tears

But the more that I recover, it's easier to see

And when I look in the mirror, I think I actually like me

[Outro]

(When my thoughts get mean, what should I do?)

(I want to recover)

(When I gain weight, what should I do?)

Brye (The only thing I should be doing)

(I want to recover)

Hm-mmh, hm-mmh
