Tenderfoot

I feel a weight that's heavier these days

No I am not quite hurting

But I think that I'm in pain

I look at photographs of myself

And they insist there's nothing wrong

But if there isn't

Why am I writing this song

I was told to love my body

'Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get

No it's not what people see

It is the mind inside of me that weighs me down

So each day I'll try

To do it better

The world has a mountain of its problems

And your worries start to feel very small

But there's a kid locked in the toilet

All racked with guilt

Don't tell me that doesn't matter to you at all

I was told to love my body

'Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get

No it's not what people see

It is the soul inside of me that keeps me whole

So each day I'll try

To do it better

I'm so afraid to talk about it

Others might not understand

The way I don't know how it's like

To be

Somebody else

Oh Lord, I pray

That they won't take me in my sleep

Oh don't we all

Have our demons

Running deep

I saw a blind man on the streets the other day

I swear, oh how I wished I could have rescued him away

And with my eyes, oh I was crying

Down on my knees

And everything has changed for me

I was told to love my body

'Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get

No it's not what people see

It is the heart inside of me that makes a man

So each day I'll try

I was told to love my body

Cause it's the only one that I'll ever get

Oh I have everything I need

From a sound mind, to working feet

They make me whole

So each day I'll try

To do it better

To do it better

To do it better
