I haven't eaten since the start of the day
I know that I love me and I know that you love me
But vomiting is better than sex
I believe in low esteem and I'm bulimic beauty
I don't need your sympathy, I believe in choices
We are the real
I couldn't tell you how I'm going to feel
I know that you love me and I know that I love me
But vomiting is better than sex
I believe in low esteem and I'm bulimic beauty
I don't need your sympathy
Honey, it's a right to choose
Honey, we were born to lose
