She's afraid she'll never measure up
She's afraid to face the world
Skip dinner, grow thinner
Be stronger, last longer
It's never quite enough

So she bides her time, while life passes by
'Cause if she feels, she'll fall apart
She's pretending that she's depending
On her empty soul, her shrinking self, her hollow heart

Losing ground, she's lost control
And the darkness settles in
She's hating the mirror
Wishing to see clearer
Wishing she could soothe her soul

So she bides her time, while life passes by
'Cause if she feels, she'll fall apart
She's pretending that she's depending 
On her empty soul, her shrinking self, her hollow heart

The years go by 
And the more she tries
The more she needs to be saved from her hands
And when she comes undone
She's held by the One
Who took the fall so she could stand

So she takes His hand, and He understands
And He's there when she falls apart
No more pretending, now she's depending
On His empty grave, His healing love, His holy heart

So she takes His hand, and He understands
And He's there when she falls apart
No more pretending, now she's depending
On His empty grave, His healing love, His holy heart
