Lyrics
(This is a story
Of a little girl
Who didn't think she was enough
Because of a number on a scale)
6 years old
I was told
That I was too heavy to hold.
Carrying
The burden
Of everyone always watching what you're eating.
I shudder every time
I pass by
A mirror.
This weight is bring me down.
Overweight;
I'm ashamed,
And I don't need you to add to my pain.
I see myself;
I don't need your help.
And I
Got this way from doubting myself
And an issue I can't help.
I'm overweight
Hmm
You criticize
My body type.
"Just exercise,
And eat right."
But I get enough
Grief from those I trust.
If you think you've got something
I haven't heard
You're out of luck.
I've tried.
Overweight;
I'm ashamed,
And I don't need you to add to my pain.
I see myself;
I don't need your help.
And I got this way from doubting myself
And an issue I can't help.
I'm overweight.
Oh
Oh
Don't you know, I know?
Don't you know, I
Know?
Don't you see, I see?
Don't you see, I see?
I see me.
I'm overweight.
I'm already ashamed,
And I don't need you
To add to my pain.
I see myself;
I don't need your help.
I got this way
From doubting myself,
And an issue I can't help.
I'm overweight.
Oh
Oh
One day
When I lose this weight
You'll look at me and say that
I've changed,
But on the inside
I'll still be that nice,
Little girl you tore apart without
Thinking twice.
Overweight
Hey yeah
Oh
Oh
Oh
Yeah
