Please Eat - Nicole Dollanganger

If only I could love you enough to give you what you need

If only I could be for you the hand that feeds

'Cause I know you can only starve so much

'Til you like how it feels

Sitting on a throne of bones

Staring at that cold meal

It’s not your body that I love

But it’s the shell you’re inside of

And you’re killing it, you’re killing

The only piece of you I can touch

It’s not your body that I need

But that’s what sleeps next to me

And you’re killing it, you’re killing it

You’re killing it, please eat

If only I could make you believe you deserve everything

Every spoon and bite, anything you want to eat

'Cause I know you can only starve so much

Before you’ll die

There’s parts of you already gone

I can never revive

It’s not your body that I love

But it’s the shell you’re inside of

And you’re killing it, you’re killing

The only piece of you I can touch

It’s not your body that I need

But that’s what sleeps next to me

And you’re killing it, you’re killing it

You’re killing it, please eat
