Balance

Tell me
How many this time
Extra pounds?
Tell me what I already know
Deep in my skin
You who know I starve
For a number with two tears
That's never right
From below you look at me
You laugh at me, you taunt me
It's not pretty

Weigh me
Weigh it all
I've released the weight
That weighed heavy on the heart
That prevented me from being beautiful
That prevented me from being myself

Weigh me
Weigh it all
I've released the weight
That prevented me from being beautiful
That prevented me from being myself

I've slimmed down
I told you: Yes, I'm fine
But it was never okay
Funny life
We're never enough
Good enough with ourselves
You who are there talking to me
Judging me guilty
Putting it all on me
From below you stare at me
You want me to leave
With skin and bones

Weigh me
Weigh it all
I've released the weight
That weighed heavy on the heart
That prevented me from being beautiful
That prevented me from being myself

Weigh me
Weigh it all
I've released the weight
That prevented me from being beautiful

But the older I get
The more I lighten up
It's only my plumage
What do you want me to leave?
What do you want me to do?
It will never be enough
Now when things are not going well
I tell myself it will pass

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Weigh me
Weigh it all
I've released the weight
That prevented me from being beautiful
That prevented me from being myself
