The number on the scale
Becomes very real.
When food becomes kilojoules
And
Cravings become nil.
The number on the scale
Shouldn't be like a rusty nail.
Causing a wound
that never seems to heal,
that spreads till you're ill.
The number on the scale
is now fear.
For somehow worth is
Equals to
The number on the scale.
The number on the scale
Haunts till
The number on the scale
Decreases to
The (smaller) Number on the scale.

The number on the scale
Becomes very real.
When food becomes kilojoules
And
Cravings become nil.
The number on the scale
Shouldn't be like a rusty nail.
Causing a wound
that never seems to heal,
that spreads till you're ill.
The number on the scale
is now fear.
For somehow worth is
Equals to
The number on the scale.
The number on the scale
Haunts till
The number on the scale
Decreases to
The (smaller) Number on the scale.
