She looks at herself in the mirror She groans, displeased with her figure Cuts down food, skips her meals No one knows how fat she feels. Exercising day and night Trying to fit in clothes too tight 5 pounds, 10 pounds, 20 pounds lost She's got it controlled: she's her own boss. A gut-wrenching feeling, it's all so new Taking in food, but very very few Feels like vomitting all of her time To get back on her feet is a very long climb Every bite was such a torture Every swallow was even worse She doesn't know, doesn't understand Turning down every lending hand She gets mad and she gets cranky She's growing thin, her stomach's empty She says she's fine, but in truth she lies And day by day she slowly dies Losing her friends, but only one stayed But even that was a price she paid Her friend told her to continue what she's doing To stop eating her meals, to stop chewing Her friend said she was fat, saying she's ugly "Lose more weight, so that you'll be pretty" Annie was her name, Annie was a liar Annie's name is short for Anorexia

Her friend, Annie
She looks at herself in the mirror She groans, displeased with her figure Cuts down food, skips her meals No one knows how fat she feels. Exercising day and night Trying to fit in clothes too tight 5 pounds, 10 pounds, 20 pounds lost She's got it controlled: she's her own boss. A gut-wrenching feeling, it's all so new Taking in food, but very very few Feels like vomitting all of her time To get back on her feet is a very long climb Every bite was such a torture Every swallow was even worse She doesn't know, doesn't understand Turning down every lending hand She gets mad and she gets cranky She's growing thin, her stomach's empty She says she's fine, but in truth she lies And day by day she slowly dies Losing her friends, but only one stayed But even that was a price she paid Her friend told her to continue what she's doing To stop eating her meals, to stop chewing Her friend said she was fat, saying she's ugly "Lose more weight, so that you'll be pretty" Annie was her name, Annie was a liar Annie's name is short for Anorexia
