Nessa Barrett - ​dying on the inside lyrics

You should take this as a compliment
If I were you, I would be more confident
You're lucky that you're pretty
Why are you obsessed with your appearance?
I don't wanna hear it, you're fine
It's been my best-kept secret
For a while now
No one ever sees it, but it's all around

It's the dinner conversation no
One talks about
Don't know how much longer I
Can keep this down

Beauty is the knife
I've been holding by the blade
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
It's all a lie, honestly
It's eating me alive they're all like
"Did you change your hair?"
"Did you lose a little weight?"
"You should keep it up 'cause
It really looks great"
I hate that I always look my best
When I'm dying on the inside
When I'm dying on the inside

I wish I could break the mirror
It makes me feel like
I should fucking disappear
And drown my demons in a
Bathtub filled with tears
No matter what I try
They always seem to come back to life
What if I didn't do this to my body?
What if I quit and then you don't want me?

The dinner conversation no one talks about
Don't know how much longer I
Can keep this down

Beauty is the knife
I've been holding by the blade
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
It's all a lie, honestly
It's eating me alive they're all like
"Did you change your hair?"
"Did you lose a little weight?"
"You should keep it up 'cause
It really looks great"
I hate that I always look my best
When I'm dying on the inside
When I'm dying on the inside
When I'm dying on the inside

You should take it as a compliment
If I were you, I would be more confident
You're lucky that you're pretty
Why are you obsessed with your appearance?
I don't wanna hear it, you're fine

Beauty is the knife
I've been holding by the blade
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
It's all a lie, honestly
It's eating me alive they're all like
"Did you change your hair?"
"Did you lose a little weight?"
"You should keep it up 'cause
It really looks great"
I hate that I always look my best
When I'm dying on the inside
