[Verse 1]
This one's for all the girls who do their best to avoid mirrors
Because you never feel good enough, and you can't stand your own appearance
You deprive yourself of food to lose weight that you don't have
And stick your fingers down your throat, to where your broken heart's at
But the truth is, you're blind, from all the things that only you see
You've become your greatest critic, and your own worst enemy
You say "skinny's happy. thin's the only way to be."
95 pounds in high school, you still cry yourself to sleep
This one's for all the girls in love with long sleeve shirts
Because blood washes away, but every scar still hurts
You couldn't take the pain of your every day life
So you took your trust and put it in a lighter and a pocket knife
You say you do it to escape the pain of your world
But I hate to know someone's harming such a beautiful girl
If you won't let anyone in, just listen to this song
And know that no matter what, you never gotta be alone
[Chorus]
You never gotta be alone
So don't try to do it on your own
You ain't gotta put everything on your own shoulders
And I can't find a single flaw
Beautiful girl, all in all
So stand up tall
Fly don't fall
You're Not Alone at all
[Verse 2]
Cheerleaders, Prom Queens, Celebrities, and Models
You get the food in your mouth, can't get yourself to swallow
You spit it out, and write purge on your wrist
Ain't had a single thing to eat, but you've got yourself convinced
You never trust a boy who says he likes the way you look
Cuz every single other guy that said that was a crook
So now you see a different you than the rest of us
I want to make you see, you're one of the best of us
Put on a fake smile with your makeup in the morning
The camera adds ten pounds, your mirror adds fourty
Five pounds, ten pounds, twenty pounds, thirty
If skinny was so happy, your heart wouldn't be hurting
Ok, you count calories, I'll count tears
If i get a higher number, somethings gotta change here
Forget about Pro-Ana and your thigh gap
Look at where my eyes at, yours are where the prize at
I ain't trying to be in love with you, no flirting from me
I just hate that you don't know you're beautiful baby
Not hot, not s**y, not a dime, not fine
I said you're beautiful, perfectly flawless, one of a kind
So when things go South, and your world gets dark
And you think "Why did my life even ever have to start?"
Don't let the media compare you to anyone, no
You're an individual, but girl, you're never alone
[Chorus]
You never gotta be alone
So don't try to do it on your own
You ain't gotta put everything on your own shoulders
And I can't find a single flaw
Beautiful, all in all
So stand up tall
Fly don't fall
You're Not Alone at all
[Verse 3]
You feel worthless, hopeless, disappointing, pathetic
Everything looks fine, but you're far from copacetic
Grades dropping, friends leaving, parents fighting, you can't even take it anymore
Terrified of what's in store
Traded warmth and joy for the embrace of a cool blade
When you still couldn't chill, you held yourself against a flame
With every single cut, you grow closer to the next
Tears streaming down your cheek as you smile on a text
Blood runs down your arms, your sides, your thighs
Permanent scars, because of self created lies
You think nobody could understand what it's like
But I still got the word "dumb" carved into my thigh
So when things go South, and your world gets dark
And you think "Why did my life ever even have to start?"
Don't isolate yourself, like nobody could ever know
And don't fight pain with pain, you're never alone
[Chorus]
You never gotta be alone
So don't try to do it on your own
You ain't gotta put everything on your own shoulders
And I can't find a single flaw
Beautiful, all in all
So stand up tall
Fly don't fall
You're Not Alone at all
