Background (feat. Ashra)
She's fast asleep, she's dreaming about her windowsills
And all she's had to eat today are sleeping pills
She's been starving, staring in the mirror
The words she heard, still they're ringing clearer
And although that was 40 pounds ago
She's told herself that love's something she'll never know
And if she ever heard the words "you're beautiful"
It could reach inside her like a miracle
Only nightmares, she's never dreaming
Does no one hear her when she's screaming?
Does no one see her when she falls down?
Is no one standing in the background?
Does no one see her when she's bleeding?
Does no one care if she's still breathing?
Does no one see her when she falls down?
Is no one standing in the background?
He walks by, she's filled with insecurities
They lock eyes, something she has never seen
The next day, oh about the same time
She sees him coming closer, could he be mine?
And then she hears the words, he says "you're beautiful"
They reach inside her soul, it's like a miracle
He says he's felt this way since 40 pounds ago
She found a love she never thought was possible
No more nightmares, now she's dreaming
He hears her when she's screaming
He sees her when she falls down
Cause he's standing in the background
No longer is she bleeding
He listens to her breathing
He sees her when she falls down
Cause he's standing in the background
Oh I hope that no one ever reads this note
I wrote the moment I was speechless
All my trolls they feasted on my weakness
Now I know the beauty's who the beast is
When I broke the nights that I was sleepless
The words you spoke, I started to believe it's
The antidote, I'm begging on my knees baby
Please don't let me go
No more nightmares, now she's dreaming
He hears her when she's screaming
He sees her when she falls down
Cause he's standing in the background
No longer is she bleeding
He listens to her breathing
He sees her when she falls down
Cause he's standing in the background
And all she's had to eat today are sleeping pills
She's been starving, staring in the mirror
The words she heard, still they're ringing clearer
And although that was 40 pounds ago
She's told herself that love's something she'll never know
And if she ever heard the words "you're beautiful"
It could reach inside her like a miracle
Only nightmares, she's never dreaming
Does no one hear her when she's screaming?
Does no one see her when she falls down?
Is no one standing in the background?
Does no one see her when she's bleeding?
Does no one care if she's still breathing?
Does no one see her when she falls down?
Is no one standing in the background?
He walks by, she's filled with insecurities
They lock eyes, something she has never seen
The next day, oh about the same time
She sees him coming closer, could he be mine?
And then she hears the words, he says "you're beautiful"
They reach inside her soul, it's like a miracle
He says he's felt this way since 40 pounds ago
She found a love she never thought was possible
No more nightmares, now she's dreaming
He hears her when she's screaming
He sees her when she falls down
Cause he's standing in the background
No longer is she bleeding
He listens to her breathing
He sees her when she falls down
Cause he's standing in the background
Oh I hope that no one ever reads this note
I wrote the moment I was speechless
All my trolls they feasted on my weakness
Now I know the beauty's who the beast is
When I broke the nights that I was sleepless
The words you spoke, I started to believe it's
The antidote, I'm begging on my knees baby
Please don't let me go
No more nightmares, now she's dreaming
He hears her when she's screaming
He sees her when she falls down
Cause he's standing in the background
No longer is she bleeding
He listens to her breathing
He sees her when she falls down
Cause he's standing in the background
