I wish you could see me instead of my face
But instead I must drown in your shallow pool
I know I'm ugly and I don't appeal to your tastes
If I'll never win why do I continue this game and play the part of the
fool?

I'm struggling through a battle I know I'll never win
For all I am is a shadow of existence, or that's all I see
I pretend your criticizm doesn't hurt but it's shredding my heart from
within
I'm tied down to you and I wish you'd set me free

Your face captivates me during my dreams and your eyes hold me hostage
I can't tear myself from you even when you laugh in my face
Why won't you leave me in peace and what is you obsession with my torment?
I'm sorry I don't have blonde hair or a size four waist

Please, just escape my thoughts
You have me writhing in pain and you're too blind to see
Long and hard for you I've fought
But I know you don't see me
And with every day I fade
