marksman lloyd - big girls lyrics
her parents told her she looked pretty the way that she is
and there’s a reason that god had made her so big
so at night she’d drop to her knees and pray that the kids
would use sticks and stones instead cause the names really sting
and broken bones would never hurt as much
as the weight of these words that crush her thirst for love
makes her feel as if maybe she deserved it once
but there’s a time to be loved and hers is up
she smiles at the boys and their smiling back
buts its malicious little giggles trying to hide the fact
their high “fiving” and joking behind her back
but she knows cause she’s developed an eye for that
the food is a vice gets her through moonless nights
super heroes won’t save her but she’ll super size
can’t loose the weight but could loose her life
far easier repeating the thoughts of suicide
cause they tease and they joke about extra meat on her bones
she looks at them like i know just leave me alone
the funny thing is that if you speak on the phone
you’d fall in love with her sweetness of tone
and for reasons unknown be drawn to her charisma
treat every word as important as a whisper
her hearts so big its supported by a figure
made to carry a heart that’s abnormally bigger
she’s dealing with the hell inside of herself
goes it alone but she’s crying for help
was on top of the world so the height that she fell
has hit her hard she’s not flying too well
socially aware because she’s no fool
but what she doesn’t know is how they could be so cruel
she decides it’s either a change or i’m leaving for good
but her eating won’t change so she makes eating caput
in a society where image matters the most
little girls have got their fingers down the backs of their throats
she gets skinny and sick but people compliment the weight loss
just wants to fit in now the consequences take off
sick days have risen, school thinks she’s probably lying
rib cage looks like a prison her hearts locked inside it
misplaced praise given she’s gotten to like it
her parents have given up trying to stop the diet
got a new boyfriend with her new found courage
too obsessed with himself to notice she’s malnourished
hangs out with the cool kids joins in on the bad jokes
has even started calling other big kids fatso
and she’s loving the attention that comes with the obsession
of throwing up meals before her stomach can digest them
the more emaciated the closer to perfection
her biggest critic now is her own reflection
the girl’s sisters a little thicker but the kid is a winner
got a smile that makes you smile when you see it in a picture
never cared about body image so she can’t put her finger
on why she’s lost her smile and all the kid’s diss her drop the magazine, don’t watch the movie scenes
or idolize these so called beauty queens
trust me little girl what’s in you supercedes
their expectations of what you should be
between you and me i believe there’s more to this
than the awful things we do to pursue what gorgeous is
i won’t patronize you with comments on inner beauty
cause in this cruel world it doesn’t sit so smoothly
but what’s outside judgment, tears and failed dreams
and hating yourself for the numbers the scale reads
is a love not based on what you can do to impress it
that won’t question whether you deserve its acceptance
you were made perfect its seen in your eyes
someone’s counting the tears that cry you to sleep in the night
i’ll put that on my life i believe whole heartedly
you don’t have to suffer for what others find hard to see
