Love Me To The Bones

Dreams of of a slim slender frame
Will be nothing more then fantasies
My bones will forever be hidden under flesh
No-one will see my real beauty

For I cannot force myself to reveal
The girl struggling to emerge
It's like a civil war within me
I cannot win, yet I cannot lose

I want you to be able to hold me
Feel my prominent figure of beauty
However this is as much for you as me
Today, I will get nowhere in this world

Tomorrow, yet maybe be different
If tomorrow ever comes
I may stay in this skin forever
Be loved by nobody, ever

Unless I gain the strength to stand
Embrace a new day of change
Once and for all, tell myself
This may go on no more

One day I may be able to raise my skinny fist
Tell you all, I did it!
One day you will love me to the bones
And I'll love you back for it
