Background (feat. Ashra)

She's fast asleep, she's dreaming about her windowsills And all she's had to eat today are sleeping pills She's been starving, staring in the mirror The words she heard, still they're ringing clearer And although that was 40 pounds ago She's told herself that love's something she'll never know And if she ever heard the words "you're beautiful" It could reach inside her like a miracle Only nightmares, she's never dreaming Does no one hear her when she's screaming? Does no one see her when she falls down? Is no one standing in the background? Does no one see her when she's bleeding? Does no one care if she's still breathing? Does no one see her when she falls down? Is no one standing in the background? He walks by, she's filled with insecurities They lock eyes, something she has never seen The next day, oh about the same time She sees him coming closer, could he be mine? And then she hears the words, he says "you're beautiful" They reach inside her soul, it's like a miracle He says he's felt this way since 40 pounds ago She found a love she never thought was possible No more nightmares, now she's dreaming He hears her when she's screaming He sees her when she falls down Cause he's standing in the background No longer is she bleeding He listens to her breathing He sees her when she falls down Cause he's standing in the background Oh I hope that no one ever reads this note I wrote the moment I was speechless All my trolls they feasted on my weakness Now I know the beauty's who the beast is When I broke the nights that I was sleepless The words you spoke, I started to believe it's The antidote, I'm begging on my knees baby Please don't let me go No more nightmares, now she's dreaming He hears her when she's screaming He sees her when she falls down Cause he's standing in the background No longer is she bleeding He listens to her breathing He sees her when she falls down Cause he's standing in the background
