every year in health class they tell you
eating disorders are bad
and every year in health class they tell you
that if you have an eating disorder, you need to get help

but in health class they don't tell you
that it's not as simple as flicking on a switch
yesterday i was normal but today i'm anorexic
no, it doesn't quite work like that, does it

they don't tell you that sometimes
you'll feel so sad you won't want to ever get out of bed
not even to eat
and they don't tell you that maybe
that'll happen a lot
and they don't tell you that one day
when your stomach is pleading for something, anything,
you'll realize
hey, i feel kinda good
for once
