Dear Body Lyrics by Bow Anderson

2023

[Verse 1]
Started when I was a child
Watching my mom go on a diet
I thought maybe I should try it
Dropped a size and lost my mind in the process
Waking up afraid to change
I put all my self-worth on my weight
Living on compliments from strangers
Self-criticizing in the mirror years later
[Pre-Chorus]
Toxic secrets I made you keep
I starved you out when you needed to eat
But now that I see it, I wanna set you free
[Chorus]
Dear body
I just wanna say I'm sorry
'Cause I'd never do this to somebody else
But it's easy to hurt myself
Dear body
You're taking good care of me
I wish I could say the same about you
After all that I put you through
I'm sorry, dear body
[Verse 2]
Draggеd myself back to the gym
When it was thеrapy I should've been in
I never felt good in my skin
And I still wear a t-shirt when I swim
Ruined so many holidays
Skipping the birthday 'cause of cake
Counted every last little taste
Wondering when it would up on my thighs or my face
[Pre-Chorus]
I know better now that I'm older
But in photos I still hate my shoulders
I wanna heal this, I wanna set us free
[Chorus]
Dear body
I just wanna say I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
'Cause I'd never do this to somebody else
But it's easy to hurt myself
Dear body
You're taking good care of me
I wish I could say the same about you
After all that I put you through (Through)
[Bridge]
I said you were too big, then you were too small
Too many curves or none at all
Why was I so cruel when you're me and I am you?
I'm sorry, dear body
(I'm sorry, dear body)
(I'm sorry, dear body)
(I'm sorry, dear body)
[Chorus]
Dear body
I just wanna say I'm sorry
'Cause I'd never do this to somebody else
But it's easy to hurt myself
I'm sorry, dear body
