The pressure to be perfect
You say it's really worth it.

Wanting to be skinny takes control.
Anorexia and Bulimia soon take their toll.

Crash diets and dangerous, fat burning pills
All just to obtain the achievement that kills.

Unattainable is the solemn goal.
It rips you apart till nothing of you is whole.

The only reason you do all these horrible trends
Is to impress the popular group, your so-called "friends."

You lose a pound, you can't help but smile.
You gain a pound, you feel inferior and vile.

You want to be beautiful, gorgeous, and pretty.
I can't help but look at your actions with pity.

You're damaging yourself, can't you see?
Stop now, hear my plea!

Accept yourself for who you are.
Break these actions before they go too far.

Take a break, catch your breath
If you keep doing this your result will be death.

The pressure to be perfect
Tell me now, is it really worth it?
