I Won't Waste Away

Lyrics

I look into the mirror

And no matter what I find

I try to say I won’t be judged by my body,

I should only care about my mind.

 

But I know that’s just a lie I tell

Because I’m afraid of what’s true.

People just don’t care about the content,

If they don’t like the view.

 

Why do we let our hearts

Be ruled by our eyes?

Why doesn’t it come to me

As any surprise

 

That, a few lost pounds

Means a few gained friends

Where the chubbiness stops

I’m told that’s where the misery ends.

 

They only care about what they see

They didn’t care to listen

I’m sorry to be an eyesore

I didn’t want to be an imposition.

 

Just say it to my face

Don’t stab me in the back.

You may be small, but you make yourself smaller

With that attack.

 

I don’t want that much from you

All I want it honesty.

To tell you the truth,

It isn’t bad to be me.

 

I may be a little bigger

And you may be small, but if my only option

Was thin and rude like you,

I’d be nothing at all.

 

But until then,

I won’t waste away

I’ll love this a*s and waist of mine

My confidence won’t sway.

 

Then someday you just grow up

But for once you don’t grow out.

And they look at you and think

That, you finally understand what they were all about.

 

Girl you look so skinny!

Ain’t it great to be thin?

You must have thought,

That the world I was living in

 

Was a place that

No one would want to be

I guess the only one who didn’t think

It was wrong was me.

 

I don’t want that much from you

All I want it honesty.

To tell you the truth,

It isn’t bad to be me.

 

I was and still am a little bigger

And you may be small, but if my only option

Was thin and rude like you,

I’d be nothing at all.

 

But until then,

I won’t waste away

I’ll love this a*s and waist of mine

My confidence won’t sway.

 

I won’t waste away.

I like the rhyme and meter I think it should be shorter and distilled But I think you are good at this
