Dear Body
Started when I was a child
Watching my mom go on a diet
I thought maybe I should try it
Dropped a size and lost my mind in the process
Waking up afraid of change
I put all my self-worth on my weight
Living on compliments from strangers
Self criticizing in the mirror, years later
Toxic secrets, I made you keep
I starved you out when you needed to eat
But now that I see it
I wanna set you free
Dear body, I just wanna say I'm sorry
'Cause I'd never do this to somebody else
But it's easy to hurt myself
Dear body, you're taking good care of me
I wish I could say the same about you
After all that I put you through
I'm sorry, dear body
Dragged myself back to the gym
When it was therapy, I should've been in
I've never felt good in my skin
And I still wear a T-shirt when I swim
Ruined so many holidays
Skipping the birthdays 'cause of cake
Count every last little taste
Wondering when it would show up on my thighs or my face
I know better now that I'm older
But in photos, I still hate my shoulders
I wanna heal this
I wanna set us free
Dear body, I just wanna say I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
'Cause I'd never do this to somebody else
But it's easy to hurt myself
Dear body, you're taking good care of me
I wish I could say the same about you
After all that I put you through (through)
I said, you were too big
Then you were too small
Too many curves, or none at all
Why was I so cruel when you're me, and I am you?
I'm sorry, dear body
(I'm sorry, dear body)
(I'm sorry, dear body)
(I'm sorry, dear body)
Dear body, I just wanna say I'm sorry
'Cause I'd never do this to somebody else
But it's easy to hurt myself
I'm sorry, dear body
Watching my mom go on a diet
I thought maybe I should try it
Dropped a size and lost my mind in the process
Waking up afraid of change
I put all my self-worth on my weight
Living on compliments from strangers
Self criticizing in the mirror, years later
Toxic secrets, I made you keep
I starved you out when you needed to eat
But now that I see it
I wanna set you free
Dear body, I just wanna say I'm sorry
'Cause I'd never do this to somebody else
But it's easy to hurt myself
Dear body, you're taking good care of me
I wish I could say the same about you
After all that I put you through
I'm sorry, dear body
Dragged myself back to the gym
When it was therapy, I should've been in
I've never felt good in my skin
And I still wear a T-shirt when I swim
Ruined so many holidays
Skipping the birthdays 'cause of cake
Count every last little taste
Wondering when it would show up on my thighs or my face
I know better now that I'm older

Dear body, I just wanna say I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
'Cause I'd never do this to somebody else

I'm sorry, dear body
(I'm sorry, dear body)
(I'm sorry, dear body)
(I'm sorry, dear body)
Dear body, I just wanna say I'm sorry
'Cause I'd never do this to somebody else
But it's easy to hurt myself
I'm sorry, dear body
