Battle

As she tries on her prom dress

she cant help but think

"its beautiful but only if i lose these extra pounds"

"too bad my oversized body takes the beauty down"

and theres nothing you can say to her

to help her see the light

stop trying to save her, its not your battle to fight

and as I watch her from a hidden place

and look at the grimace on her face

i remember that I have thought that way

every day of my life

I remember that you will never know

or understand the meaning of this strife

when she looks in the mirror

she doesnt see herself

she sees the pain shes causing you

and everybody else

This isnt about her anymore,

not the way it was at the beginning

its about your love and pride in her

its about repenting her sinning

and as I try on my prom dress

I cant help but this

"its beautiful but only if i lose these extra pounds"

"too bad my fat ass brings the beauty down"

and theres nothing you can say

to help see the light

stop trying to save me, its my battle for you I fight.
